One Tree Hill: #1 The Beginning

ONE TREE HILL is the latest Dawson's-style hit on The WB. The young cast -- including CINDERELLA STORY star Chad Michael Murray -- is tremendously appealing and commands a huge teen following.

Lucas Scott is a moody rebel. Nathan Scott is a privileged preppy. Luke grew up poor, on the outskirts of town. Nathan grew up wealthy and owns the town. Now the two half brothers are basketball teammates and sometime rivals for the same girl. And they're about to face off for the first time, on the court and off.

One thing's for sure: Their lives - and the lives of everyone around them - will never be the same.

Scholastic's debut novelization takes readers deeper into the backstory and exposes secrets viewers have yet to learn.
