Description

Time was running out. Jessica looked up at the ring. With an almighty toss, she took
a shot at the basket. Everyone held their breath . . .


Jessica is a basketball all-star. So why does she need lucky shoes?


Review

Jessica is the smallest kid in her class, so she shouldn't be any good at basketball. Wrong answer! Jess is super quick and a great shot so she is the star of her team.


When her dog Buster eats her lucky shoes, Jess thinks she will never play well again. Can her team help her to get her confidence back?
An entertaining book about basketball, team sport and how sometimes we don’t believe in our own ability.


Perfect for any sport loving student. It will suit sports loving emerging readers.
