I liked this book because it was inspiring. The setting is at their school, their house, and the basketball court.Sometimes at other peoples houses because of Masters of the Mind. The captain of Masters of the Mind, Gets all A's and rocks the schoolboard. One of the key players on the team( a very good passer and takes it to the rim). The amazing basketball player ad brother.
The main characters in this book are Owen, the athlete of the book. And look what happened, he actualy made the team! So that shows you that you never know what could happen when you try something new. When Russel was challenged to tryout for the basketball team, he didn't back down from it. The theme of this book was to accept any challenge that is thrown at you. But, when Russel finds out that Owen wrote his inspirational paper about him, he came back and won every last game of the season. In that period of time, Russel quit basketball. So, he steals Russel's pair of Nikes and throws them away because he thinks they give Russel good luck! When Russel finds out, they get into a big fight and don't talk to each other for a long period of time. On the other hand, Owen is worried that because of Russel's talents, he'll be benched. When someone tries to join the team, he wants to take over Russel's spot and become the captain.
Now that Russel is busy with practice, he has to miss alot of Masters of the Mind meetings. Owen gets blindsided when he figures out that the new coach(Coach Baxter)wants Russel to tryout for the basketball team! When tryouts finally comes, Owen figures out that he's a beast and Russel makes the team. Owen is the jock in the family, and Russel is the smarts of the family.
