Synopsis

In order to start in the basketball game, Roopster will have to learn how to slam dunk. But dunking is the least of his concerns after he overhears the evil Tegore's plans to take over the town--and the world--with his stinky green slime.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Roopster Roux stumbles upon the evil Tegore and his assistant Boris, who are planning to take over the town, and then the world, with their stinky green slime that will put everybody into a deep sleep.

But how can Roopster find out what to do? As Mr. Figby the librarian often says, "Books can answer some difficult problems." They can also answer many questions.

To discover if Roopster will be able to stop Tegore's stinky slime and save Woodville, you'll have to read the book.

So, what are you waiting for?

Roopster Roux loves to read and wants you to love to read too! But he can't convince you all by himself. As any basketball fan knows, a team has five players on the court at all times. So, Roopster has selected his own all-star Reading Team: Brent Barry, of the Miami Heat; Cynthia Cooper, of the Houston Comets; A. C. Green, of the Dallas Mavericks; and Tammi Reiss, of the Utah Starzz. Together, they hope to show you that reading can be as much fun as a fast break, a three-pointer, or a slam dunk!

An audiocassette version of this book is also available from Pelican. It is narrated by Roopster's friend Cynthia Cooper, of the Houston Comets.
