Reviews

"There's plenty of basketball action, camp fun, and one of the zaniest kids outside a Gordon Korman novel--pretty good value."
Paula Hart, Vancouver Sun
"Coldwell captures very effectively the assurance and studied cool of the age group. Ian Watt's cover art...effectively captures basketball's physicality and will attract its intended audience."
Jennifer Johnson, Canadian Materials
"Eight- to 13-year-olds will find this a zippy read and will groove to the fast and furious roundball action"
Hamilton Spectator
