A basketball game opens the door to a neighbor’s story

Tony, Mia, and River bring their After-School Kindness Crew spirit to a fourth-grade basketball game, where an errant ball leads them to a neighbor they have heard unsettling things about. Getting to know him becomes part of the crew’s effort to help him reckon with his past, while he supports them as game day approaches. Basketball, neighborhood connections, and the gap between rumor and firsthand understanding shape this second installment. The description also notes brain breaks and deep breaths as part of the series’ approach to kindness and community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in friendship and kindness stories
  • Readers who enjoy school sports and neighborhood adventures
  • Those looking for children’s fiction centered on community and understanding others

Book overview

Sequel to the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER POOCH ON THE LOOSE - From Academy Award winner Goldie Hawn and bestselling author Lin Oliver comes the second book in an inspiring series about friendship, community, and the power of kindness, encouraging readers to take breaks and deep breaths as they go!

Ever since Tony, Mia, and River formed the After-School Kindness Crew, they've made it their mission to bring joy to those around them. Follow along for all the laughs, adventures, and brain breaks along the way!

It's time for the first annual fourth-grade basketball game at Sycamore Elementary, with Tony taking on the role of team captain. And as luck would have it, Mia gets to be on his starting lineup, with River as their mascot. While they may not be the most conventional team, they're determined to try! But their first practice is hardly a slam dunk...

Things get even trickier when they practice with an old hoop in a neighborhood alley and their ball goes flying into the backyard of the man who lives next door, forcing the crew to face the mysterious man rumored to be rather unpleasant. But once they get to know him, they learn that first impressions aren't always what they seem.

Find out how the crew helps an older man make peace with his past while he helps them take on game day!
