Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang
Gene understands stories—comic book stories, in particular. Big action. Bigger thrills. And the hero always wins. But he doesn't get sports. At the high school where he now teaches, the basketball team, the Dragons, is all anyone can talk about. And what Gene doesn’t know yet is that this season is not only going to change the Dragons’s lives, but his own life as well.
