Point Guard

Description

Gus and Cassie have always been on the same team off the field, but in this third novel in New York Times bestselling author Mike Lupicas Home Team series can they stay friends when theyre on the same court?Everyone assumes that Gus, whose family is from the Dominican Republic, is a baseball guy. But this year Gus is even more excited about basketball than any other sport hes ever played. Hes been practicing some new moves and lately hes more surprised when he misses his shot than when he scores. Plus now that hes convinced his friend Teddy to try out for the team and Jacks shoulder is healed, it looks like Waltons home team will be unstoppable.But this isnt going to be the season Gus expected, because their team is getting a new player and she just happens to be one of his best friends. Gus knows Cassie is more than good enough to compete on the boys team, and besides they really do need a point guard, so why isnt he able to shake the feeling that she belongs on their bleachers rather than their bench? And to make matters worse, with their center Steve Kerrigan constantly making comments about his Dominican heritage, and Steves dad voicing his views on immigration as he runs for office, Gus is starting to wonder if he really belongs in Walton after all.Can Gus find a way to bring the home team together both on and off the court, or will all these prejudices block their shot at a winning season?
