Meet Lisa Bolt Simons who will be signing copies of Boxed Out: A Choose Your Path Basketball Book at Zenith Bookstore.Moving to a new town isn't easy, especially when you're in high school. But at least you have basketball. It's a great way to keep busy and to make new friends—or so you think. Not everyone in this small town is eager to welcome you. No matter how hard you practice, no matter how well you play, you feel like an outsider.
You're the main character in this interactive sports adventure that's two stories in one. Play as Isiah, and try to earn your way into the starting lineup. It won't be possible unless you convince the coach and his star player—his son—the importance of teamwork. Then become Imani, and see if you can overcome bullying by a few of your teammates. You'll need to win them over to have a shot at winning the big game.
It's a game within a game!
Interactive books for kids are more popular than ever. Create your own adventure with the Choose to Win book series. You're the main character. You make the choices. Will you find your way to a championship finish?
