Wallace was worried. This was nothing like at his old school. He wasn't giving up basketball. Not for bullies. Not for anyone. He messed up at his old school. This was his last shot.

Straightforward plots move readers through the 48-pages of text quickly and efficiently with satisfying resolutions.
