Basketball Breakdown (Jake Maddox JV)

Basketball Breakdown (Jake Maddox JV)

One minute eighth-grader Shaena is rushing to grab a rebound, and the next shes lying on the basketball court, dizzy with a horrible pain in her head. A collision with an opponent has left Shaena benched with a concussion, two weeks before the big rival game. And shes angry, why does she need to stop playing just because of a headache? Forced to take things slow, she watches as the other girls practice and improve without her, and Shaena starts to worry they may no longer need her. How can she be part of the team when shes been sidelined? A glossary, writing prompts, discussion questions, and bonus basketball facts make this action-packed sports story as engaging and educational as it is exciting. Val Priebe lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with four dogs, a cat named Cowboy, and a guy named Nick. Besides writing books, she loves to spend her time reading, knitting, cooking, and coaching basketball. Other books that Val has written in this series include Full Court Dreams and Stolen Bases.
