Summary: 4 Stars
Hoops is a ok book at times it is very slow but toward the end it is a great book. i would suggest that anyone who has read the book "Slam" by Walter Dean Myers to read this book."I dont think "Hoops" is as good but it is still worth the time to read it.Book Review: (...) review
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book because it was about sports. I also liked it because its something that could happen in real life. It was also good because it was a serious book and I usually read funny books so I liked reading a different type of book. The book Hoops is about a kid named Lonnie growing up on the streets of Harlem. He and his friends start a basketball team but do not really like the coach. Lonnie and the coach end up becoming best friends and develop a relationship. The type of reader that would like this book would be a reader who likes sports. Another type of reader that would like this book would be a serious reader because it is a serious book. Also a realistic fiction readers, because it could have happened in real life.Book Review: A Basketball Dream

Hoops by Walter Dean Myers is a fantastic read. This is the first Myers book that I have read and it makes me want to read another.

He is your typical teenager, his mom gets on his nerves, he has a job working at a hotel,he has a girl who he cares about but can't exactly tell her, and he gets into some mischief. One thing sets him aside though, that is his love for basketball and his skills. These skills help lead his team into a tournament where his coach, and friend,Cal gets involved in some gambling. He sits Lonnie out because he is supposedly injured. Does Cal keep Lonnie on the bench and lose or does he put him in and have a better chance of winning? Read Hoops and find out.
