"Alone we can
do so little; together we can do so much." Helen Keller DOUBLE
DRIBBLE Have you ever played basketball? If so, you know the fun and excitement of the dribble, the pass, the shot, the swish, and the roar of the crowd. 7th grader Owen Evans lived basketball. It was the most important part of his life, and he was good. Playing with his taller, slimer, less experienced twin brother Russell, he and the team were on a winning streak. Would the Pioneers be able to continue for the rest of the season? Could anything rock Owen's year? Perhaps it could. Perhaps it will. How far will Owen go to regain it? The threat to Owen's leadership walked into the gym one day. It was a new set of 12-year-old twins, tall, athletic, identical twins, who moved to Portland and joined Owen's Pioneer basketball team. But, something was strange about them. They were too good, too focused, too synchronized. Would the coach bench Owen and Russell to start Mitch and Marcus Matthews? What would Owen do if he lost the spotlight? Russell was less concerned. He liked basketball and being part of the action, but his whole life wasn't on the court. He was part of another team, Masters of the Mind where he could use logic, math, and problem solving to win contests with his teammates. The story of two sets of twins, fraternal twins Owen and Russell, and identical twins Mitch and Marcus, takes some unexpected terms in DOUBLE DRIBBLE. Told in easy, alternating chapters, first by Owen, then by Russell, the reader can see the action and problems through the eyes and voices of two very different twins. Athelte or Mathlete? Is it possible to be both? For classroom connections, the 31-page Kids Wings Literature Guide and 53-slide Jeopardy-type interactive game for DOUBLE DRIBBLE will extend the fun, hone reading skills through multiple-choice and short answer questions, stimulate interaction through discussion, inspire problem-solving in logic and crossword puzzles, and lay the foundation for understanding the importance for balancing athletics with academics. One real challenge will be to determine how the chapter titles represent the events in the chapter! Here's an excerpt from the Kids' Wings 2-page choral reading introduction patterned after "Casey at the Bat" for 13-voices in DOUBLE DRIBBLE:
