Pedro is a great basketball player and loves playing for his 6h grade
team.  He is not a hotdog, but a real team player.  Ned is the other
star player on the team and they play well together.  Ned not only is
a good athelete but also the most popular kid in school and is
expected to become class president.  Pedro decides to run for class
president also  will this change their relationship at school and more
importantly will it change how the interact with each other on the
court?  This 182 page book is a good piece of sports fiction.  There
is not only the story and action on the court, but also other plots
going on in the story.  Lupica has written a book for upper
elementary...increasing his audience from his other great YA sports
books.
