Pick-Up Game: A Full Day of Full Court

Pick-Up Game: A Full Day of Full Court

"Nine all-stars in the field of YA lit contribute stories. . . . An anthology of stand-alone stories that invite â€” no, demand â€” a straight read-through." â€”Â Bulletin of the Center for Childrenâ€™s BooksÂ (starred review)

Nine of YA literatureâ€™s top writers, including Walter Dean Myers, Rita Williams-Garcia, Adam Rapp, Joseph Bruchac, and Sharon Flake reveal how it all goes down in a searing collection of short stories, in which each one picks up where the previous one ends. Characters weave in and out of narratives, perspectives change, and emotions play out for a fluid and fast-paced ode to the game of street basketball. Crackling with humor, grit, and streetball philosophy, and featuring poems and photographs by Charles R. Smith Jr., this anthology is a slam dunk.
