After the Shot Drops
After the Shot Drops | Randy Ribay
A powerful novel about friendship, basketball, and one teen's mission to create a better life for his family in the tradition of Jason Reynolds, Matt de la Pena, and Walter Dean Myers. Bunny and Nasir have been best friends forever, but when Bunny accepts an athletic scholarship across town, Nasir feels betrayed. While Bunny tries to fit in with his new, privileged peers, Nasir spends more time with his cousin, Wallace, who is being evicted. Nasir can't help but wonder why the neighborhood is falling over itself to help Bunny when Wallace is in trouble. When Wallace makes a bet against Bunny, Nasir is faced with an impossible decision—maybe a dangerous one. Told from alternating perspectives, After the Shot Drops is a heart-pounding story about the responsibilities of great talent and the importance of compassion.

This book is a really good read if you are interested in any sports at all. It really incorporates a whole bunch of aspects that concern all athletes, which is really what drew me in. I loved the story line and the aspect of how the problem could really alter the main characters life into the future.
It‘s about a high school athlete who is a very good basketball player and has had some bad experiences outside of the sport he loves.

Xander Mcintyre The sport saves him from getting into more problems and keeps him going on a good but strong path. He doesn‘t know what he would do without this game. 2y
MissYaremcio Thank you for the review Xander! I would have liked a little bit more in the summary and in the theme explanation. 4/6 2y

Bunny is the main character and he is my favourite. But I‘m not quite finished the book but other than it is really good so far.
