Beyond the Game: Jordan Marie Brings Three White Horses Whetstone

Praise for the BEYOND THE GAME series:
"With wide-spaced lines of text and attractive, digital illustrations in black and white, the books in this series will appeal to young readers with an interest in basketball and how some of its brightest stars are using their wealth and influence to improve the lives of others. This series’ dual purpose offers a refreshing shift of emphasis from the usual sports biographies."--Booklist
