Some kids told me they'd pay cold cash just to have one of my nicknames. Even the big-talking boys begged me for games of one-on-one. Audiences crowded the courts as I smiled politely, racked up my points, and took care of my basketball business.
The fans always rooted for me, which was cool, but I needed a break from the hoops spotlight. I thought going to soccer camp with the ballplayers would give me a chance to live in someone else's shadow for once. But when we arrived, the coaches pegged me as the superstar the second I stepped out of the car. Soon I found myself running with a few campers who bent the rules....
Meet the Ballplayers -- a fearless five with a passion for sports, hanging with friends, and life on Broadway Avenue.

Maureen Holoham has written a series of books called The Broadway Ballplayers. I read #3 Everybody's Favorite by Penny. In this book Penny Harris and her friends really love soccer and have a chance to go to a soccer camp, but their only problem is that it costs $375 for all of them to go. On the way to raising money for the camp they go through many challenges. Everyone looks to one person to save the day. When they finally get to camp, they meet many new friends who may lead Penny into all different directions. You will have to read the book to find out what will happen to Penny and her friends and to see if they make the right choices. This was a sensational book because you never knew what was going to happen next. It kept my interest, and I had a hard time putting this book down. This book also sent out an important message to Penny and to the children of today. I recommend this book to every child out there. I guarantee you'll like it. I know I did!!!!!!!!
