Triple Threat

by Eric Walters & Jerome Williams

tagged: basketball, bullying, friendship
Description

It's summertime and hoops season is over, but that doesn't keep Nick and Kia off the court.

One very hot day they head to the rec center for a swim but end up on the outdoor courts that are usually dominated by older players. Their enjoyment of the court is short-lived, however, when three teens show up and kick the kids and their ball off the court. Nick and Kia don't take well to being bullied, but there's nothing they can do about it. At least not until they run into Jerome "Junk Yard Dog" Williams at a mall promotional event, and Kia enlists the NBA star's help in proving that she and Nick do indeed belong on the same court as the older players.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
