This book is about how a teenager named Joe wants to have a good season of basketball. He also wants to go to a public school for once but when the opportunity actually comes he messes up and is forced to go to private school for the last year of high school. This was a good book but I didn't like how they didn't tell you forsure if he did sell his soul. The most they ever show of the devil is the mist in the gym but they don't specify on it. So throughout the entire book he's second gessing his success in basketball games and after a while it gets annoying.
This is a great book, it is full of action and suspense! If you like basketball you would like this book.
