Meet Michael Jordan Duncan; if you say his name fast enough, it sounds like Michael Jordan Dunking—which is intentional. Thanks, Dad. Mike is a sports fanatic who seems to have everything going for him: a recent growth spurt, a best friend who’s even more sports-obsessed than he is, and a (mutual?) crush on Kirsten Howard, the best player on the girls’ basketball team. Yep, everything’s shaping up nicely…. until he gets injured and his friend gets crazy. All the sudden Mike’s life isn’t looking so great, and that’s before a scandal that implicates both Kirsten and her coach, aka Mike’s father.
Review
Be prepared to become addicted to this story from the very beginning. Hueller has created main characters who are engaging and unique. The story itself has so many aspects you would not expect. It's heartwarming and inspirational.
I found the plot to be filled with heart, drama, and much more along the way.
The writing style was fluid and just fast enough, which I really enjoyed!
