Rebound by Eric Walters

It's like I said, it isn't what you do with the shots you make, but with the ones that don't go in. The rebounds.

Sean vows that this year will be different: he'll stay out of trouble and make the basketball team, even if it means ditching his old friends. David also needs to make a new start. A serious accident has left him confined to a wheelchair and horribly bitter about how his life has changed. Forced together, the boys learn to like each other, and their friendship may just be what they both need to get back in the game.
