What's Johnny Long Legs About

Publisher Summary

Everyone in Johnny Reese’s new school assumes that his long legs will make him the star of the White Cats basketball team. But his legs have no spring, and his shorter teammates can easily outjump him. On top of his troubles on the court, Johnny has to get used to a new father and stepbrother who also expect a lot from him. Will Johnny Long Legs ever be able to live up to his nickname?
