Simon B. Rhymin' Gets in the Game (Simon B. Rhymin' #3)

by Dwayne Reed (Author)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

The humorous and heartwarming third book in the Simon B. Rhymin' series, by America's favorite rapping teacher from Chicago, will have readers bopping along to the beat as Simon joins the community basketball team.

When eleven-year-old Simon Barnes joins the basketball team, he's so excited to be part of a neighborhood tradition. But when he shoots an AIR BALL, Simon knows he needs reinforcements. He recruits his best friend C.J. to the team and it's finally looking like the Creighton Park Panthers have a shot at breaking their four-season losing streak--until some of the other players abandon them for a better team.

Now Simon isn't sure the Panthers will ever have a chance at winning. But with the help of his friends, a pep rally featuring epic beats, and some Creighton Park pride, maybe the team can finally prove they have what it takes not simply to win, but to be a part of something that matters.
