(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Kadir Nelson. When ten-year-old Marcus gets to meet his idol, basketball star Jason Carter, on a school field trip, he is surprised when Jason advises him to pursue more than one dream (Marcus is good at math as well as basketball). Though the story is somewhat didactic, Marcus is an appealing character, and the easy format makes it a slam dunk for reluctant readers.
