Books with author Mike Boushell

Danny Cannon almost did not go out for basketball his freshman year, but his friends prevailed upon him to give it a shot. He soon found himself the starting point guard on a team that came to feature five freshmen. Their season was not without problems, but together they achieved a great deal as a team and set themselves up to be competitive in the years to come.

Bo James, linebacker and running back, is as close to a living legend as Rockland High School ever had. Big, his legs pumping like pistons, he churns, twists and blasts through the defenders, and pulls the cheering crowd into the heat of the game. And he is sharp, smart enough to see through the dirt, sweat and clashing bodies that something is wrong with the Rockland Warriors, the team that by all rights should be headed to the state championship. What will happen to the team and the season when co-captains Bo and Ted Johnson discover the truth and bring it to Coach?
