What's Basketball Blues About

Publisher Summary

A girl tries to choose between fitting in and playing the game she loves in Basketball Blues by Thalia Kalkipsakis, the eleventh book of the Go Girl! chapter book series. When Angie is told that she plays basketball like a boy, she is heartbroken. She quits her favorite basketball team and dreams of cheerleading instead.
