What a quick and amazing read. I laughed. I learned. I thought about crying. But I didn't cry. I have a rule against crying while reading teen fiction. Although this is not a book purely about basketball, it reminded me of that great story by Gary Smith about a team on an Indian reservation in Montana ... except much funnier. Sherman Alexie is a singular voice to be sure.
