Volponi, a multiple award-winning author, keeps the tension high from the first to last page .The Final Four is definitely a winner. --VOYA, starred review March Madness is in full swing, and there are only four teams let in the NCA basketball championship. The heavily favored Michigan Spartans and the underdog Troy Trojans meet in the first game in the seminfinals, and it's there that the fates of Malcolm, Roko, Crispin, and M.J. intertwine. As the last moments tick down on the game clock, you'll learn how each player went from being a kid who loves to shoot hoops to a powerful force in one of the most important games of the year. Which team will leave the Superdome victorious? In the end it will come down to who has the most skill, the most drive, and the most heart. Volponi nails it when it counts in this dynamic story. --Booklist, starred reviewVolponi adroitly renders authentic and inspired basketball action. --The New York Times Book Review
