Basketball (or something like it) by Nora Raleigh Baskin

Looking for a quick sports read? Try this one! Hank, Nathan, Jeremy, and Anabel deal with the realities of middle school basketball, including family pressure, a series of coaches with very different personalities and agendas, and what it means to be a team--and a friend.

Chicken Boy by Frances O'Roark Dowell

Having a friend can change your life. Tobin learns this when Henry moves to town. Henry believes that raising chickens can reveal....the meaning of life. A wild granny that gets arrested on the first day of school for crazy driving and a chicken that lays green eggs are only two of the "interesting" scenerios in Tobin's life.
