Growing up is a team effort in Fast Break, a contemporary middle-grade graphic novel about hoops, family, and friendship—perfect for fans of The Tryout and Ride On.
Mikayla Thomas is a star basketball player determined to be the best at everything she does, including making her family's move across town as stress-free as possible.
So when the girls’ coach at Mikayla’s new school refuses to let her try out for their lineup, she agrees to join the Firebirds, a ragtag coed-league team, instead. But Mikayla is used to winning, and while the Firebirds are great kids, they aren't great at basketball.
In this fast-paced, high energy story about taking charge on and off the court, Mikayla begins to wonder if the path to success is maybe more than a solo journey.
