Tentang eBook ini

Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire tries out for the school basketball team in this novel by the NBA legend himself!

Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has had a lot of success playing in tournaments and street ball. But now it’s time to try out for his school’s team. Amar’e is good enough to play with the older kids, and should probably be a starter. But the players that have been there the longest generally get the most playing time. Amar’e must deal with helping his team in a different way than he’s used to . . .

Based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar’e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today, this is a great read packed with basketball action.

“A series of chapter books that celebrate sports, smarts and friendship . . . Amar’e is a likable protagonist.” —Kirkus Reviews
