One day at the basketball court, two kids, a familiar challenge--H.O.R.S.E.?But this isn?TMt your grandmother?TMs game of hoops. Not when a layup from the other side of the court standing on one foot with your eyes closed is just the warm-up.Around the neighborhood, around the world, off Saturn?TMs rings, the pair goes back and forth. The game is as much about skill as it is about imagination. A slam dunk from multi-award-winning author/illustrator Christopher Myers, H.O.R.S.E. is a celebration of the sport of basketball, the art of trash-talking, and the idea that what?TMs possible is bounded only by what you can dream.
