Slam Dunk by Kate Jaimet


This book from the ORCA Sports series is a good realistic fiction for boys and girls alike. Whether you aspire to be a basketball coach, or just be the best player you can be, this book will be a good match. It even has some mystery added to give it punch! Slam - short for Salvador Luis Amaro - has to take over as coach for the high school girls' basketball team, while also trying out for a position on a select boys' team. It's a lot for a 17 teenager to take on, but becomes even more than he bargained for when the star player and her mother, the coach are missing. Slam takes on their disappearance as his mission, but will he be able to solve the mystery without risking his life or theirs? Luckily, this is a quick read because I couldn't put it down until I finished it!
