What's This Book About
Publisher Summary
Mel Jensen is new to the Titans basketball team, but he knows he could be a vital part of the starting lineup - if only two other players would give him a chance to show his stuff. But Caskie and Stoney seem bent on ignoring him, and Mel knows it’s because he’s black. Should Mel fight fire with fire, or should he try to get along, if only for the sake of the team?
