Night hoops by Estefania


Nick Abbott and Trent Dawson have nothing in common except for basketball. Nick is used to being in the shadow of his older brother Scott, but when Scott gives up basketball to focus on music, Nicks dad starts to pay more attention to him. It isn't long before Trent and Nick become an intimidating duo on the court, and choices have to be made: choices about school, music, friendship, and the love of the game.

While reading this novel, I didn't connected to none of the characters because my parents aren't divorced and I have never been bullied when I was younger. This book made me understand how it would feel to be bullied and if I knew someone who was bullied I would try to help them an due their friend.


I really enjoyed this book. it was really good. I thought the characters did a good job of explaining what was going on in each chapter and what they were going through and how they felt.




Readers:
How do you think Scott felt when he's dad told him to play basketball instead of focusing on music?
What would you do if you were told to play a sport you didn't like?

    1. You did a good job on the summary, you really put a lot of details in it. You also did a good job trying to connect with the book even though you couldn't connect. I don't like your review because it wasnt good and you didn't really share your opinion .

  4. I think I would of felt the same way that Scott felt about being told to do something he didn't like. I think you should always do what you want and what you like. I would say that Scott felt upset at the fact that he wanted to play music, not basketball. Well I think you did a good job in explaining the background information of the book.
