Game Face

by Andy Kantar, Fran Keleher (Illustrator)

Overview

Right now, life isn't so good for eighth-grade point guard Josh Lumley. As anyone in the tiny northern Minnesota town of Orville will tell you, hockey rules. That means Josh and his basketball teammates catch flak from just about everyone--students, teachers, even the locals at Fat Fern's Donut Hole. But all that's about to change. Populated by a cast of wacky eccentrics and an unforgettable team of middle-school misfits, Game Face will capture the imagination of anyone who roots for the underdog.
