      Gr 4-6-Readers who are eager to learn how to shoot some hoops will appreciate this informative series. Each book details the on-court duties of one of the five basketball positions. Different offensive, defensive, and passing strategies are outlined. However, descriptions of key plays are without diagrams. Photos include male and female athletes in action. While the content is great, it does suffer from an issue common in works about sports-the quick-changing status of players. For example, Kevin Durant was traded to the Golden State Warriors in the off season of 2016, but Small Forward still bills him with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
