Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang

 


796.323 YAN
Graphic Novels

If you like basketball, this is the book for you!! 

Gene understands stories--comic book stories, in particular. Big action. Bigger thrills  The hero always wins!

Gene doesn't get sports. As a kid, his friends called him "Stick" and every basketball game he played ended in pain.  He lost interest in basketball long ago, but the high school where he now teaches, it's all anyone can talk about.  The men's varsity team, the Dragons, is having a phenomenal season that's been decades in the making. Each victory brings them closer to their ultimate goal: the California State Championships.

Once Gene gets to know these young all-stars, he realizes that their story is just as thrilling as anything he's seen on a comic book page.  He knows he has to follow this epic to its end. What he doesn't know yet is that this season is not only going to change the Dragon's lives, but his own life as well.
