While discovering how to be a real team under the guidance of a new basketball coach, three friends investigate strange happenings in a prairie pasture and trust in the Lord to lead them. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I first read this book in 1997 when I was making a report for school on the fall of Yugoslavia. At the time, there wasn't a lot of info about the subject - except that mass graves of murdered Muslims were being discovered. I ordered 2 copies of this book as it was the best book I read that accurately describes the history leading up to and the effects of the Serbian led genocide of thousands of Muslim men and rape of countless women. After WWII, I think the world felt that genecide could never happen again - how wrong we were. I am afraid that the massacre that occured in Bosnia is happening again in Darfur. I have donated the books on Bosnia to a school library in hopes that future generations will remember and maybe this time the past will not repeat itself.
Lots of fun!

Exciting basketball competition and mysteries to solve as the team discovers big time activities going on in their small town. Really looking forward to the other books in the series! Couldn't put this one down.
Excellent youth/children's book. Clean adventure.

Charming, modern-day adventure in the West. Just a lot of fun to read. Plus a great lesson on unselfishness for kids. I liked the whole series, and that is as an adult who is not into basketball. Now I am buying these books for nephews and nieces. Overall, Bly always tells a creative, different story with surprises and interesting characters; but always a positive tale so you feel good at the last page. I discovered his youth series is a delight when I couldn't find more of his adult books in our small library.
