What's Hook Shot Hero About

Publisher Summary

Tim Daniels is back at Camp Wikasaukee with rest of the gang from Nothin’ But Net, serving as a mentor to three young rookies, and he’s got his hands full! He’s still working on keeping his height from getting in the way of his game–he’s shorter than most of the guys. Plus, he’s got a bully on his hands, and he’s got to find a way to inspire his campers. Good thing NCAA pro Dick Dunbar is there to help Tim with a super-cool shot that gives him the confidence to make his mark at camp. Packed with on the court action and useful lessons about the game, this is story that gets to the heart of what team sports are all about–and because it comes from Matt Christopher, young readers know they’re getting the best sports writing on the shelf.
