Mills, Patty

Sport-mad kid Patty Mills has always been good at football and athletics, so when he and his friends try out for basketball, he expects to be good immediately. When he's not, he realises he has to practice to improve his skills. As he improves he dreams of playing professional basketball like his uncle Danny. He's got a lot to learn, on and off the court - so he tries his best. But will he and his school team be good enough to get into the finals?.

"When school friend Tyson gives Patty a hard time about his people, it really hurts, but it also makes him more determined than ever. Playing for the Shadows, Patty and his friends have a chance to shine--and show that Indigenous kids can do anything"--From the publisher's web site.
