Three Point Shot

by J. R. Nakken

Overview

Nathan Red Leggins is a fish out of water – a Native American teen pulled off the reservation and thrown into a new high school in the white suburbs of Spokane, Washington when his mom marries a non-Indian. His basketball skill is his only asset. Will it be enough to help him make friends and get the girl he wants? Will the coach even put an Indian sophomore on the team? Can he shake the record of marijuana use that’s followed him from his previous school? THREE POINT SHOT answers these questions and more, and won an Honorable Mention in Writer’s Digest’s Young Adult Book Awards.
