Customer Reviews

Even Better Than The First!

As the mother of two girls, I am thrilled with Charles R. Smith's second book. I am sure that every basketball-loving girl (teen and preteen) will identify with Jo in the first short story - this is surely every girl's dream! Each story in this delightful collection has a wholesome message and is accompanied by the author's unique and poetic photography. My family loves this book and I encourage all basketball enthusiasts to buy it.

Great urban stories

Charles Smith's second book is as exciting as his first. It is more prose based, and has stories geared toward girls as well as young boys, so there is a wider appeal. The photos are interesting and compelling, keeping the attention of young readers who wouldn't ordinarily maintain interest. My ten-year old girl and my nine-year old boy both love this book, and I'm planning on making it a Christmas item for all my friends who have kids in the right age range.
