 The one highlight to Aliyah's family moving from Tampa to Milwaukee is that her new school actually has a girls basketball team--they aren't very good, and don't have a lot of fans, but with a new coach and a new season, the team is determined to turn their losing record around. For these girls, the game is about more than the score, and soon it becomes about more than the game too. A fun, heartwarming middle grade read based on a true story.
