kendallbridgete's review against another edition

Ugh, I'm just soooooooo not a sports person. And while I know that bias is certainly playing a part in to my feelings for and review of the book, it's not the only factor.
I felt like there was a lot of text that didn't really say anything--particularly in sections of conversation between characters...lots of (repetitive) words that didn't really communicate anything.
While I'm sure kids who are fans of sports, particularly basketball, might enjoy this book, I just feel like there has GOT to be a better-written sports book for kids out there that would even draw ME in...
