Description

Can street ball and technical play mix it up on the court and score wins for the team? Can Ben convince Hud to leave his hotshot style back on the pickup court?
Ben and Logan are looking forward to basketball season playing on the Roosevelt High School freshman team. Ben figures he's a shoo-in to play shooting guard and Logan will be the team's center. But their perfect team still needs a perfect point guard.
The two boys discover Antonio "Hud" Hudson at the local rec center, where fast-paced pickup games are the rule. Hud looks like just what the team needs—an instinctive passer with fancy moves. Even better, Hud is coming to Roosevelt!
Roosevelt's tough coach has one rule for the boys: no pickup basketball. Later, when Ben finds Hud playing at the rec center—in violation of the rules—he has to make a decision. Does he turn Hud in, or does he keep his mouth shut? As captain, can Ben somehow help Hud balance his passion for the game and his dedication to the team?

      • bioText: Fred Bowen was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts, a seaside town north of Boston. Most of his family still lives there—he has four big brothers and two sisters.
        His dad loved sports. One of Bowen's earliest memories is watching the 1957 World Series on TV with his dad and his brothers. Bowen's dad was his Little League coach and his brothers were his teammates in backyard football and "driveway basketball."
        When Bowen turned eighteen, he left behind his sports-happy childhood and headed to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Bowen has always loved US and world history and he made history his major in college. Bowen also loves sports history because of all the great dramas and big personalities, which is why he weaves real sports history into all of his stories.
        After he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, he went to George Washington Law School in Washington, DC.
        Shortly after he graduated, he met Peggy Jackson, a journalist. They got married two years later and now have two grown children. Their son is a college baseball coach and their daughter works for a nonprofit in Chicago. When they were in elementary school, Bowen coached their baseball, basketball, and soccer teams—more than thirty teams in all.
        Bowen was a lawyer for many years and retired from practicing law so that he could write for kids full time. He gets to spend a lot more time writing and he gets more time to visit schools and talk with kids about his books. He also speaks at a lot more conferences and meets more cool teachers and librarians.

        Gr 4-9-High school freshmen Ben and Logan have been friends and basketball teammates for a long time. Hud is a flashy player who has honed his skills in pickup games at a local recreation center and bristles at the strict rules of a coach who doesn't appreciate his penchant for "French Pastry"-a fancy streetball style of play. As team captain, Ben has to convince Hud not to quit and to follow the rules. This easy-to-read book has a nice blend of game action, lessons in discipline, and even some actual history of Holcombe Rucker Park in New York City, famous for its All-Star list of some of the greatest names in basketball. Bowen knows sports and his audience, and he scores again with Real Hoops.-Kate Kohlbeck, Randall School, Waukesha, WI

        Grades 4-6 Ben, captain of his high-school-freshman basketball squad, is faced with a dilemma when he spots the hotshot new point guard he had recruited breaking a team rule. Capped by a tribute to some of New Yorks playground-hoops heroes, this simply written tale in the Fred Bowen Sports Story series is chock-full of suspenseful game action and takes a comfortably predictable course right up to a surprise closing announcement from the team coach, who turns out to be strict but not unnecessarily rigid.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
