Bookroo's summary
Isaac Roth dreams of being a star forward like his brother, but his height holds him back. Coach Turnbull sees potential in him as a point guard, given his speed and agility. Faced with a choice between altering his aspirations or abandoning basketball, Isaac must decide if he can redefine his path to success. Will he embrace a new role on the team, or will his stubborn pursuit of a singular dream lead to disappointment? Discover Isaac's journey of self-discovery and determination on the court.
From the publisher
Isaac Roth’s big brother was a forward for the Wildcats, and Isaac wants to be one too. His dream is to be the highest-scoring forward ever. The problem is that Isaac is short. Coach Turnbull thinks he’d be a better point guard than a forward, since he’s fast and small. Will Isaac be able to change his dream and play for the team, or will he give up on the sport he loves?
