About this ebook

When Nick, Kia and their classmates begin a letter-writing campaign to try to persuade the Toronto Raptors to visit their school, they discover the team's school program has already been set for the year. But the kids do not give up easily, and their efforts become increasingly dramatic until Nick finally comes up with an idea that the Raptors will be unable to ignore. For the tenth installment of this bestselling series, Eric Walters has once again teamed up with retired NBA star Jerome Williams and his brother Johnnie Williams III to create another exciting chapter in the lives of Nick and Kia.
