[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Deuker, Carl._On the devil's court._Avon, 1988 [0-380-70879-5]
Joe loves playing basketball and finds a deserted building with a
gym in it so he can practice.  One day he says he would give his
soul to play the season of his life.  Suddenly his game improves.
He is the star player.... he team is undefeated.  But his father has
a heart attack and is getting sicker.  His class is reading Faust in
school and he wonders if what he said meant he sold his soul to
the devil and is he trading his father's life for a good season of
basketball. This 252 page book is a great basketball story with the
under-riding theme of selling your soul to the devil.  It is never clear
from the book whether Joe imagines what he does or what.
