Slam Dunk
Talented thirteen-year-old Ashlee Carson is the Tribeca Saints' topscoring point guard. Ashlee is smart, too, but her mom worries that basketball is going to get in the way of her bright academic future. Ashlee will do anything for a chance to win a place on the National Youth basketball team -- even if it means defying her mother and enlisting the help of her estranged father, a former professional basketball player. This gripping story, with plenty of drama both on and off the court, will appeal to any young basketball fan.

Ashlee Carson is a young girl with talent. She loves playing basket ball like her father. Her father was a pro player until life of the road got the best of him and he turned to alcohol and other things to make him happy. This lead to the divorce of Ashlee's parents. Ashlee's mother is raising her daughter practically on her own and wants her daughter to focus more on academics that sports. She is afraid that her daughter may make the same mistakes that Ashlee's father did. Though out the story they struggle to find that balance. Towards the end of the story they are able to make a comprise and things end on a positive note. I feel like this would be a great book for girls that are into sports. The book is clean and has a great story line. Ashlee is a great character and would make a great role model for young girls today!
