Review:
"Brooks's fine first novel has a baskeball theme and plenty of action, but sport is merely the vehicle for delivering a serious story of friendship and madness." --"SLJ." "Brilliant sportswriting and a trenchant examination of the friendship between narrator Jerome Foxworthy [an African-American seventh-grader] and Bix, a white boy in trouble." --"BL."

Book Description Mass Market Paperback. Condition: new. Mass Market Paperback. First time I saw Bix was at a baseball game. He was a shortstop, supreme. I didn't want to start liking this flashy cracker with a momma in a high-style black dress. But Bix got me, baby. Next thing I knew, there I was, Jerome Foxworthy, doing hoops privately in the woods and getting my moves down, when Bix showed up. I taught him all I knew— even though he wanted to play everything straight, not fake it. Because he had one game coming up where he'd need all the moves to put his life together again . — The Jayfox This novel "has a basketball theme and plenty of action, but sport is merely the vehicle for delivering a serious story of friendship and madness" (School Library Journal) between two youths—one black and one white—in trouble. Newbery Honor Book, ALA Notable Children's Book, ALA Best Book for Young Adults, Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for Fiction. Young Adult. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780064470223
