The Fifth Quarter: Hard Court

"Lori Block loves playing on the fourth-grade travel basketball team, despite being relegated to an extra period before the real game starts, known as The Fifth Quarter, when the not-so-good kids go in and the points don't count. That doesn't matter to Lori, though, because working on her skills has been building her self-confidence, which is a nice break from feeling awkward and out of place everywhere else in her life. With athletic promise and a dogged determination to keep improving, Lori pursues her passion while navigating awkward social dynamics and her own expectations. Can she find her confidence in school, at home, and on the court?"--Back cover of Volume 1.
