From the publisher

When country kid Langston is sent to spend the summer with family in the city, he’s sad about missing an important basketball tournament. But then his cousin Ant introduces him to street basketball. After a rough start, Langston makes strides with this new way to play, largely thanks to Ant’s tips and tricks. But when Langston gets too much attention from the others in the neighborhood, the cousins’ friendship takes a hit and the two start avoiding each other. Soon Langston is given the chance to play with another team. Will he leave Ant and the bad blood behind, or will family come first?
