    About this ebook

    There's only one slot left at the local basketball camp, and both Russ and Owen Evans want it, but it goes to Owen. Russ's only option is the “Multi-Sport Sampler” camp, and he's anything but enthusiastic.

    When the twins arrive at camp, though, things take an unexpected turn. From the moment he sees the grit and natural gifts of the other guys, Owen suspects he's in over his head. Meanwhile, Russ is inspired. He studies the science of soccer, volleyball's variables, and the principles of pole vaulting, delighted to discover that it all makes perfect sense.

    But when he sees how bummed-out his brother has become, Russ knows it's his job to snap Owen out of it. Can he convince his ever-competitive twin to let down his guard and learn from the Hoopster hotshots?

      Time on His Hands

      Feb 1, 2022

      Like most boys in the early 1960s, my birthday presents probably included a Hula Hoop, a baseball mitt, an army shovel, a model airplane or two, and a new bicycle somewhere along the line. But there’s one present I’ll never forget. Every time there’s

      it was a great book about two siblings using each others strengths and weaknesses to both win.
    • 4/5
      This is a really nice story about two brothers who are in middle school and are trying to figure out how they fit in. They both think they know their roles (one is an athlete and one is a scholar) until a new basketball coach shakes things up. I think it has a good message and would be nice paired up with "The Fourteenth Goldfish" by Jennifer Holm or "Goodbye Stranger" by Rebecca Stead, which also have themes of finding where you belong in middle school.

      I wasn't really expecting to love this book, but I ended up finding it hard to put down. It flows. Short, engaging, 2 perspectives that are really good at being 2 perspectives, and strong family dynamics for the win. Had some funny moments, had some genuine celebration of both word games and basketball. Great fun!
    • 4/5
      Excellent: flawed characters who are likeable, lessons learned without being preachy, "brains and brawn" shown as complementary, not exclusive, attributes and in a non-stereotypical way. I really don't like sports, including basketball, and I don't like reading sports books, but I really enjoyed this book. One to read with my kids when they get older (upper elementary and middle school aged).
