  Eleven-year-old Amar’e Stoudemire has had a lot of success playing in tournaments and street ball. But now it’s time to try out for his school’s team.

  Based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar’e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today, this is a great read packed with basketball action.
