Summary: Count it!
Comment: John Coy's ``Strong to the Hoop'' is exactly that -- a book that drives hard and scores with a story of playground hopes, doubts and triumphs, combined with vibrant photo-based visuals. It's the story of James, an undersized kid who suddenly finds himself called to play ball with the neighborhood big boys. By the time the teams reach game point, James has learned a lot about the game and himself, and while his triumph may be small it is also inspiring. ``Strong to the Hoop'' is also alive with sounds that get the reader in the game -- a bouncing ball in the opening, the heavy breathing and terse ``woofing'' between players on the court, even the ripping of a shirt. And though it involves boys, it's not only for boys. Girls now have plenty of sports opportunities, and know well the challenges of the game (not to mention the countless opportunities to discover new strengths and prove oneself among the big kids). ``Strong to the Hoop'' will appeal to boys and girls who enjoy the the test.
A disclaimer, sort of: I know John Coy personally but if you have any doubt that his work is terrific check out ''Night Driving'' -- and the NY Times reviews of it. It's not just me.
