Queen of the Court
by Michele Martin Bossley
Kallana has always been more interested in fashions than in sports. When her father suddenly decides she should join the school basketball team, Kallana feels desperate.
Kallana wears the wildest clothes of anyone at her suburban Calgary junior high school. Still, it seems it's not enough to get the attention of her freelance photographer father or her non-kid-friendly mother.
When her dad signs her up for the basketball team after Kallana is sent home from school for wearing "provocative" clothes, she's mortified: she can't dribble, she can't shoot, and the uniforms are just hideous. But as things get worse at home, basketball practice comes to be a welcome relief, and the self-confidence she learns at the free-throw line helps her prepare for the difficult changes she has to face.
Queen of the Court is the touching story of a young girl whose experience of sport helps her cope with unexpected change.
