Full Book synopsis/summary:
Full Court Dreams is a heartwarming and inspirational story set in the small town of Maplewood. It follows the journey of a young girl named JJ, who dreams of becoming a basketball star. Despite not being the tallest or the fastest in her class, JJ’s passion for the game and her indomitable spirit shine through. Her life turns when she meets Mr. Que, a legendary but reclusive coach.
Under his guidance, JJ learns not just the skills of the game but also valuable life lessons about hard work, resilience, teamwork, and the joy of pursuing one’s passion. As JJ grows from a determined youngster into a skilled player and eventually a coach, she carries the legacy of her mentor and the lessons she learned on the court. Full Court Dreams is more than a sports story; it’s a tale of personal growth, mentorship, and the enduring impact of positive influences.
