Patty Hits the Court

By Patrick Mills, Jared Thomas

Sports-mad kid Patty Mills has always been good at football and athletics and a ripper at rugby. So when he and his friends try out for basketball, it should be a breeze. Patty expects to be a great basketballer straightaway, just like his uncle Danny. But he soon discovers there's a whole lot more to the game than just shooting hoops. He's got a lot to learn, on and off the court-and it's going to take plenty of practice. Will he and his school team be good enough to get into the finals?" --Page 4 of cover.
