Kelly Roberts is a basketball whiz at home but freezes in front of crowds. Everything changes when she discovers a pair of red hightops in her locker. These sneakers seem to enhance her game, leaving her teammates in awe. As Kelly grapples with their mysterious power, she wonders if the shoes are truly magical. Can she rely on them, or is there a deeper secret at play? The stakes rise as Kelly must decide if the shoes are a blessing or a curse, and what it means for her future on the court.

From the publisher

When Kelly Roberts plays basketball at home with her friend Ester, she’s a whiz, but as soon as she faces a crowd, she freezes. Then one day Kelly finds a brand-new pair of red hightops in her locker. They fit her perfectly, and whenever she wears them, her teammates tell her she plays a better game. She is reluctant to believe in them at first, but soon even she has to admit that the sneakers have a strange, almost overpowering effect on her. Could the mysterious hightops somehow be touched with magic?
