Title:  Full Court Fever
AuthorFred Bower
Series: AllStar SportStory

Reviewed by: Connor C . '12

This book is about a seventh-grade basketball team who thinks they cannot win because of their lack of size. Every year they play the eighth-grade, and every year the seventh-grade team loses. Then one day, Kelvin, Michael, and Conor (all on the seventh grade team) go to the House of Cards, a sports card shop. They start to look at old magazines on the NCAA basketball season in 1964. They find out that the team that wins that year is the UCLA Bruins. They also learn that they play a much taller Michigan team. The boys want to know how they win. They find out that they use a "full court press" for the whole game, because the Bruins are much quicker than Michigan. The boys think that they can use the "press" because their whole team is quick. To find out if the "press" works for the seventh-grade team read Full Court Fever.
