SHOT CLOCK

This wonderful middle-grade audiobook is about a youth basketball team led by a coach who understands the value of leadership and living a good life off the court. Tony is trying to make the team, and he does--but not in the way he expects. As the players work hard on the court, they deal with the senseless death of a pal whom the whole community mourns. Marc Anthony Samuel's voices range from a deep, commanding one for the coach to a light, a soft one for the coach's daughter, and slight alterations for various kids and other characters involved. Coauthor Caron Butler is a former NBA player--and both narrators really keep pace. M.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
