Bookroo's summary
Jazz, once hindered by a developmental condition, is finally ready to join her junior high basketball team. But when an old bully resurfaces, her confidence wavers. Can she overcome her fears and lead her team to victory, or will her past hold her back? In a story of resilience and redemption, Jazz must navigate the challenges of teamwork and forgiveness, discovering the true power of determination.
From the publisher
Growing up with a developmental condition that left her clumsy in both movement and speech, Jazz was teased and never had the chance to play team sports. Now rid of her symptoms, Jazz is ready to play basketball at her junior high, but the reappearance of an old bully makes her question herself and tempts her to let down the team that is counting on her. Last Pick emphasizes teamwork and countering bullying with fairness and forgiveness and how determination can help overcome obstacles.Distributed in the U.S by Lerner Publishing Group
