## Description

There's nothing but net in this engaging tale of basketball and life. Eddie "Air" Ball wants to win the Finkle Foods poetry contest for a chance to sink a million-dollar free throw at halftime of the NBA finals. He knows he can make the shot, no problem. He's not so sure he can write a winning poem, though. Luckily, Eddie has the help of his best friend, Annie "Oakley" Stokely. Not only is Annie as good at shooting baskets as Eddie is, she also knows a lot about writing poems. But someone wants him to miss and will stop at nothing to keep Eddie from winning. Together, the two friends might have a chance to win the money that will help their parents move them out of their trailer park homes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book!! I loved it!!
*by A***R on September 13, 2012*

I started this new thing with my 8 year old because he doesn't like to read. I buy us both the same book & we read a chapter then talk about our favorite part & what we think is going to happen next. This book had us both ready to keep reading more! Great story line & it kept my son interested. I hope the other series are just as good!!
