"I thought Pitcher's
Hands is OUT! was a good book - but you cranked your game up a
notch with Slam Dunks. I couldn't wait to see what the next
Woody-ism was. Written for a bit more mature audience but my 4th
grader had no trouble with it and laughed out loud in some places.
Well done! P.D.
A high
school basketball team that has a huge twist to it.
One passage that stood out to
me was “My grandfather always says to play within yourself”. That
sticks out to me because I (play sports)
and things like that make me think about not trying to play like
(someone) I’m
not when I can play well just as I am.
I
loved the book. I liked it because I like reading sports stories
and how they resemble real life. The one thing I liked the most was
that the person who didn’t have the most talent but worked real hard
accomplished things he didn't think he
could do. M.MacL.

Our whole
family loved Slam Dunks. You've mixed humor, history,
and science within a very good sports story in way that's
educational, exciting, and believable. If you're intention is
to get young people to read and understand history, you've
succeeded. When is the next book coming out? V. P.
