Here's the third entry in Claudia Mills' charming middle-grade series. Mason Dixon survived the school choir and adopting his now-beloved dog named, uh, Dog. But now he faces his biggest challenge yet: joining the local basketball team. Not by choice, his parents encourage it and his dad even volunteers as his coach. With his best pal Brody and a team of misfits even worse at basketball than him, Mason must try to rally to beat his arch-rival, the school bully named Dunk. Just another day-in-the-life of a disaster-prone fourth grader.
