YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!
I thought big shot was a really good book because Greg's mom was pushing him to join a sport so he decided to sign up for basketball. He tried to fail tryouts but he ended up on a team. So he is a middle school kid who has to play a season but he and his team arnt that good but he has 1 actual good player on his team that carry all of the other players on Greg's team.
