This is a great read that with high appeal for readers interests in sports and/or history. Written on a level closer to middle grade, but still appropriate for high school. I want to read the adult version now.

I am not a fan of basketball but this was still an interesting read with a lot of history and events from the civil rights movement. Sports was a big theme but not the main one. I felt for all that Perry Wallace went through. There are some insults used that may make some people uncomfortable to read but they are historically accurate and are still used today. The story did go slow at times so my interest waned. I would recommend it for kids or teens who like to read about people who overcome obstacles and show determination. 6th grade and up.
