The road to the 8th Grade City Championship has been anything but smooth for Mel and Tory: they're two parts of a used-to-be-best-friends group still reeling from a dramatic falling out for starters, and tack that on top of new family dynamics, identity crises, and a school project that seems determined to make them both fail.

Becker's debut is full of heart, grit, and passion as these two teens learn to dig for their own strengths, stand up for themselves, and maybe, just maybe, make it out the other side of the city championship better for it. Mel and Tory will melt your heart and send you cheering with every shot they take.
