Details
Malik Page has big basketball dreams, but everyone except his mama better call him Shake! He's determined to make the Marshall Grove varsity team as an eighth grader and follow in the footsteps of Chicago basketball legends like his dad and late Uncle Kenny. But when a fractured ankle takes him out of a championship game, Shake finds himself stuck on the sidelines for the first time in his life.
With varsity tryouts approaching, his best friend drifting away, and a growing distance between him and his dad, Shake feels like everything is slipping out of his control. As anxiety threatens to overwhelm him, he must find the courage to face his challenges, fight his way back onto the court, and rediscover the person he is beyond basketball.
