Foul Trouble by John Feinstein

Reviewed by Jake L.
Grade 8

What is it like to be the best high school basketball player in America? The colleges coming after you... The shoe sponsors trying to bypass NCAA laws and illegally sign you...The agents ... And still being in high school...Read this book if these things sound interesting.

This story follows Terrell, the number one basketball recruit in the U.S, and Danny, his friend and teammate. It chronicles their journey through high School, tournaments, girls, and college choices. The book also follows how agents and sports gear companies try to sway the boys to make decisions that favor them.

I thought the plot and author's style were great. The plot is impossible to predict. Your eyes are glued to the page. The author does an outstanding job with making complicated NCAA rules seem relatively simple.

I would recommend Foul Trouble to any sports fan. The plot is very interesting and the author does a great job developing characters. Anyone who is into sports would appreciate this book.
