A season that takes an unexpected detour

At Hoops Academy, team captain Trey “Mojo” Michaels is facing a losing start to freshman-year basketball. He seeks out Coach Kit, hoping the former coach can turn the team’s fortunes around, but their time together becomes a geocaching scavenger hunt across the city. Basketball and urban exploration form the book’s paired strands, while Mojo’s search for a winning formula gives the story its central question: what can lessons outside the game offer a struggling team?

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in basketball-centered fiction
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining team sports with scavenger hunts and city exploration
  • Young readers interested in a captain’s effort to help a struggling team

Book overview

Freshman year basketball at Hoops Academy is not going according to Trey "Mojo" Michaels' plan. Sure, he's the team captain, but they have yet to win a single game! Desperate to win, Mojo goes out in search of the team's old coach who led them to many victories. Mojo is convinced that if anyone can help the team to start winning it's Coach Kit. But the reclusive man instead ropes Mojo into a geocaching scavenger hunt that takes them all across the city. The lessons he learns are unexpected and couldn't possibly help the team, could they?
