Camp All-Star
by Michael Coldwell
Red-hot, pumped-up, on-court action. That's what summer basketball camp promises to deliver, and that's what Jeff Lang is determined to get.
When Jeff Lang lands in Halifax for summer basketball camp, he's ready for red-hot, pumped-up, on-court action. Above all he wants to impress the coaches and make the all-star team.
Soon, however, he's confronted with bizarre roommates, science nerds, and tough rivals determined block him hard at every turn. Struggling to the top proves much tougher than he had imagined.
Camp All-Star is a funny, high-spirited adventure packed with fast-paced basketball action.
About the Author
Michael Coldwell

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"
