Become a basketball star in this interactive adventure. Make the right choices, upgrade your skills, and win the game!

Moving to a new town isn’t easy, especially when you’re in high school. But at least you have basketball. It’s a great way to keep busy and to make new friends—or so you think. Not everyone in this small town is eager to welcome you. No matter how hard you practice, no matter how well you play, you feel like an outsider.

You’re the main character in this interactive sports adventure that’s two stories in one! Play as Isiah, and try to earn your way into the starting lineup. It won’t be possible unless you convince the coach and his star player—his son—the importance of teamwork. Then become Imani, and see if you can overcome bullying by a few of your teammates. You’ll need to win them over to have a shot at winning the big game.

You may have read sports books before, but you’ve never read one like Boxed Out by Lisa M. Bolt Simons. It’s a game within a game. Here’s how it works:

• Become the main character. Make choices that affect what happens.
• Collect points along the way to upgrade your skills.
• Utilize your upgrades to win the game at story’s end!
