Gus and Cassie have always been on the same team off the field, but in this third novel in New York Times bestselling author Mike Lupicaβs Home Team series can they stay friends when theyβre on the same court?
Everyone assumes that Gus, whose family is from the Dominican Republic, is a baseball guy. But this year Gus is even more excited about basketball than any other sport heβs ever played. Heβs been practicing some new moves and lately heβs more surprised when he misses his shot than when he scores. Plus now that heβs convinced his friend Teddy to try out for the team and Jackβs shoulder is healed, it looks like Waltonβs home team will be unstoppable.
But this isnβt going to be the season Gus expected, because their team is getting a new playerβand she just happens to be one of his best friends. Gus knows Cassie is more than good enough to compete on the boysβ team, and besides they really do need a point guard, so why isnβt he able to shake the feeling that she belongs on their bleachers rather than their bench? And to make matters worse, with their center Steve Kerrigan constantly making comments about his Dominican heritage, and Steveβs dad voicing his views on immigration as he runs for office, Gus is starting to wonder if he really belongs in Walton after all.
Can Gus find a way to bring the home team together both on and off the court, or will all these prejudices block their shot at a winning season?
