I just want to note that I know nothing about basketball. Honestly, I don't like sports pretty much at all. I read this because I won it in a giveaway. My lack of knowledge of basketball will not be informing this review.
The back of this book says it's for ages 8-12. Personally, I think at ages 11 and 12, I would have found this book a bit on the childish side for me. It has a lot of telling you what's going on and what people are thinking and feeling and not a lot of showing. Everything is very plainly laid out and you don't have to put in very much thought. In that way, I think it's great for young readers just getting into novels, but I don't know if that lack of depth would appeal to the older side of the age range.
The characters all kind of blend together personality wise. They all have very different stuff going on in their lives but the characters themselves didn't feel very distinct from one another aside from backstory and home life stuff.
I did like that the salary difference between male and female pro athletes was brought up. Women athletes make so much less money than their male counterparts and it really sucks.
I would definitely recommend this for young kids who like sports. Or if you just like sports. Honestly, I'm 24 and don't like sports, but I still found it pretty enjoyable to read.
