Mason Dixon: Basketball Disasters
Guy Francis, Claudia Mills
Here's the third entry in Claudia Mills' charming middle-grade series. Mason Dixon survived the school choir. He survived adopting his now-beloved dog named, uh, Dog. But now he faces his biggest challenge yet: joining the local basketball team. Not by choice, of course. Not only do his parents encourage it, but his dad even volunteers to be his coach. Now, with his best pal Brody and a team of misfits even worse at basketball than him (if that's possible), Mason must try to rally to beat his arch-rival, the school bully Dunk. Just another day-in-the-life of a disaster-prone fourth grader.

Profile Picture

This book is about Mason Dixon and his adventure with basketball. He is convinced by his best friend, Brody, that basketball is a fun sport that they could learn to play. His parents sign him up and during the first meeting, his mom volunteers his dad to be the coach. There are not many boys on the team who can play. At some of his games, he has to play against the school bully, Dunk. Is he going to find out if he is meant to play sports, or is he not the kind of person who enjoys that type of past time?
