Description

In this earnestly funny middle grade graphic novel debut, eleven-year-old Coco will stop at nothing to make new friends on her basketball team. But as Coco navigates the highs and lows of sixth grade, she will have to reconcile with the fact that relationships are complex and true friends are supposed to like you just the way you are.

When Coco joins the school basketball team, shes ready to rock. Joining the team means new friendssomething she's desperate forbut it also means dealing with bossy teammates, confusing crushes, and less-than-flattering new nicknames. When the teams all-star player, Maddie, starts calling her shrimp, Coco realizes its not actually a joke and that she's going to need new moves if she wants to score both on and off the court. But her resilience is put to the ultimate test when a courtside catastrophe threatens to put an end to the new world shes worked so hard to be a part of.

Told with tenderness, humor, and above all heart, Coco Fox delivers a sorta-true story about taking your best shot, even when the odds are stacked against you.
