Add to Wish List Synopsis Sixteen-year-old "Slam" Harris is counting on his noteworthy basketball talents to get him out of the inner city and give him a chance to succeed in life, but his coach sees things differently., Slam, a teenager living in Harlem, adapts to life in a new school as he dreams of becoming a professional basketball player. At his new school Slam begins to learn that if he truly plans to succeed in life, he must have the dedication to excel in all aspects of school--not just on the basketball court. Details Series: Coretta Scott King Author Award Winner Size Length: 266 pages Height: 8.5 in Width: 6.3 in Thickness: 1.0 in Weight: 16.8 oz Publisher's Notes First Line: "Basketball is my thing. I can hoop. Case closed. I'm six four and I got the moves, the eyes, and the heart." Industry Reviews "The best passages in the novel depict Slam's uneven effort to control his anger and to refrain from the self-destructive behavior that could ruin his future as a student and an athlete. Myers also writes with offhand insight about the racial attitudes that inform the relationship between Slam and his new schoolmates, most of whom are white." Washington Post Book World - Jim Naughton (01/12/1997) "The author plots with rare skill....Few writers can match Myers for taut, savvy basketball action, and in those scenes he's at the top of his form." Kirkus Reviews (10/15/1996) Did you find errors in this product information? Submit a catalog update request now.
