Slam Dunk
Published by Scholastic Inc.
From the NBA superstar: “A series of chapter books that celebrate sports, smarts and friendship . . . Amar’e is a likable protagonist.” —Kirkus Reviews
Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has been playing so much basketball lately it feels like he doesn’t have time to do all the things he used to love. His team needs him because he is one of the best players on the court despite also being one of the youngest. When some of the older kids get on Amar’e for not being able to dunk, he sets a goal to make that happen soon. But when Amar’e’s playing time is put on hold, he’ll have to come to terms with all of the other things he’s been neglecting in this exciting series 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.
“The b-ball action and jargon flies fast and free . . . and hard work leads to triumph on the court.” —Booklist
Praise for the series
“Will keep basketball fans riveted . . . Amar’e’s voice is refreshingly real.” —Publishers Weekly
