A new team, a different measure of success

Mikayla Thomas arrives at a new school ready to prove herself on the basketball court, but the girls’ team won’t let her try out. She joins the coed Firebirds instead, where her own confidence and winning habits meet a group of teammates still finding their footing in the game. The move across town adds a family transition to Mikayla’s efforts to manage what happens on and off the court. Told as a middle-grade graphic novel, Fast Break brings basketball, friendship, and family into a story about learning how individual ambition fits within a team.

Book overview

Growing up is a team effort in Fast Break, a contemporary middle-grade graphic novel about hoops, family, and friendship--perfect for fans of The Tryout and Ride On.

Mikayla Thomas is a star basketball player determined to be the best at everything she does, including making her family's move across town as stress-free as possible.

So when the girls' coach at Mikayla's new school refuses to let her try out for their lineup, she agrees to join the Firebirds, a ragtag coed-league team, instead. But Mikayla is used to winning, and while the Firebirds are great kids, they aren't great at basketball.

In this fast-paced, high energy story about taking charge on and off the court, Mikayla begins to wonder if the path to success is maybe more than a solo journey.
