OLDER FICTION
Jones, Patrick

On Guard

(4) YA Bounce series. These short hi-lo novels are dominated by fast basketball action and off-court ethical dilemmas created by school pressures and family troubles. Jones unsubtly but engagingly portrays both the stories' basketball tensions and the personal life choices the male and female protagonists must make to resolve their problems. Quick, thought-provoking reads for teen hoops enthusiasts. Review covers the following Bounce titles: At the Center, On Guard, Pass It Forward, and To the Point.
