520 a| In the summer of his seventeenth year, Samuel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime-- a trip to the U.S. with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basketball tournament. He's never been away from home, or on a airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches" A dream come true. Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quickness, and an astonishing vertical leap, but the rest of his game needs work. During the tournament, Samuel receives devastating news from home: a civil war is raging across South Sudan, and rebel troops have ransacked his village. His father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp. Samuel desperately wants to go home, but it's impossible. Partly out of sympathy-- there is plenty of more mature talent and he isn't immediately needed, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholarship. Samuel has something no other player has: a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America. He works tirelessly and soon he's dominating everyone in practice. With the Central team losing and suffering injury after injury, Sooley, as he is nicknamed, is finally called off the bench. And the legend begins. But how far can Sooley take his team? And will success allow him to save his family? Gripping and moving, Sooley showcases John Grisham's unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. Grisham is at the top of his game. --c| Front book jacket flap.;
