Game Changers

Two best friends, Andi Carillo and Jeff Michaels, are about to watch their sixth-grade basketball teams begin a season already tangled in trouble. The new coach openly displays racist behavior, and one teammate keeps working against the team at every turn.

The pressure grows when local reporters sense more than one sensational story. Andi and Jeff must decide whether they can lean on each other to get through the chaos and steer both teams back on course.

The book is the second title in John Feinstein's middle-grade Benchwarmers series. Feinstein is a sportswriter and bestselling author, and this installment stands alone, so new readers can start here.
