Coach Havens has all the third graders dribbling, passing, and shooting, and he’s quick to compliment EllRay’s skills. However, no one else seems to notice them, and as the shortest kid in the class, EllRay is chosen last for teams at recess. Book #9
Sally Warner worked first as an artist and an art teacher, exhibiting her drawings all over the country. After writing three books on creativity for adults, she started writing fiction for children. The author of the popular Sort of Forever (Knopf Books for Young Readers, ages 8 - 12), Sally also wrote the internationally popular middle readers Dog Years (also Knopf, a favorite in Italy) and How to be a Real Person (in Just One Day), (Knopf again, and still doing very well in South America). Sally has sold more than 800,000 books to date.
Sally was born in New York City and grew up in Connecticut and California. She attended school in Pasadena. She then received her B.A. from Scripps College in Claremont, CA, and her B.F.A. and M.F.A. degrees in fine art from Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles.
Sally and her husband - writer Christopher Davis - live in Southern California.
EllRay Jakes finally grows up (a little) by playing basketball in this ninth book in the series.
There’s a new game in town—basketball! Or, in Ellray’s case, pre-basketball. Coach Havens has all the third graders dribbling, passing, and shooting, and he’s quick to compliment EllRay’s skills. However, no one else seems to notice them, and as ‘the shortest kid in the class,’ EllRay is still chosen last for teams at recess. What’s a short guy gotta do to get noticed?? When EllRay comes up with a plan that involves the off-limits teacher’s lounge, everyone does a double-take!
