This book is called the last shot written by Darcy Frey. I think this book is very interesting because it has action it tells us about his life. it also tells us about his basketball dream. it showed me a lot about how he was in poverty and in his school there were some people that had bad things they would talk about. there are some parts that are funny how it says how the new principal comes down the hallway to soak in some glory. one of the nice things is how in the end he got a scholarship and he got a degree bachelors. but then he was put in jail. then he continued playing basket ball after getting released.  (Kiran.
