Bookroo's summary
Devon Rosario, a basketball prodigy from the Bronx, feels trapped by his father's dreams of glory. When he discovers Jamal, a refugee, performing BMX tricks, Devon finds a new passion. But can he keep this thrilling secret from his father, or will his love for BMX upend his life? The stakes are high as Devon navigates between expectations and his own happiness.
From the publisher
Basketball has always come easily to twelve-year-old Devon Rosario of the Bronx, but it has been a long time since he actually enjoyed playing because Devon’s father sees him as the family’s second chance at basketball glory, and the pressure of that expectation is ruining the game for Devon; but then he sees Jamal, a Yemeni refugee, doing BMX tricks on his bike and suddenly Devon sees a way to put fun back into sports–provided he can keep his new passion secret from his father.
