Aronson, M., & Smith, Jr., C. R. (2011). Pick-up game: A full day of full court. Somerville, MA: Candlewick. Nine authors and a poet turn their creative energies to the game of basketball, showing in their offerings the different ways the ball bounces. Each story connects to the next story in some way, allowing different characters to come to the forefront in one story while fading back to the background in the next. It's all great fun, and sure to pull in reluctant readers and basketball fans as well. The feminine perspective is offered by Sharon G. Flake and Rita Williams-Garcia as Flake looks at basketball from the point of view of a spectator, and Williams sends into the game a character from her earlier book, Jumped.
