Hooped

by Michael Bains

Overview

Jimmy should be happy. He's the captain of the basketball team, popular at school, and dating the girl of every guy's dreams. But when he's recruited by a local drug dealer, Jimmy is seduced by the money and the lifestyle. Before long, his relationships and schoolwork start to slide, and he feels burdened by everyone else's expectations.

Which path should he follow, when all of them feel like dead ends? How can he find and follow his own path? His mind is spinning in a hundred different directions, but can he finally listen to his heart?

Inspired by the author's adolescent years, Hooped is a tale of basketball, love, and the journey of self-discovery.
