Richie Mallon is known as "the shooter"—the one on the team who scores most of the baskets.
Every day he practices at his driveway hoop, perfecting his technique. Richie never plays any other roles on the court, leaving it to his teammates to do the assisting and rebounding.
Under a new coach, Richie makes the team but isn't given a starting position. So when his shooting skills fall into a slump, can he find a way to become a better-rounded player and stay on the team?
Bowen returns with another fast-paced story of sports, teamwork, and talent. The afterword offers real-life stories about some of the great shooters in basketball history.
