#1
Imagine you are an 8th grader
and have entered a writing contest. Now imagine you receive a letter
informing you that you have won! Now, imagine that the prize is a
trip to the Final Four college basketball playoffs with full journalist
credentials! You will be able to meet the players and the coaches.
You'll be able to attend the practices and the games. You'll have
seat right up close to the court. What a great prize! And for
Steven Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson, it is a dream come true.
What the two don't anticipate is overhearing a conversation in the hall
way. A conversation about fixing the final outcome!
Booktalk #2

the college Final 4 Basketball Championship. There he meets the other

are excited to meet the players and coaches and work beside some of the
most famous sports journalists.
Chip Graber is the star player
for Minnesota State University. He is destined to be a top draft
pick for the NBA. But everything is threatened when Stevie and Susan
Carol overhear a man tell Chip to throw the game and make sure MSU looses
the championship. Stevie and Susan Carol come up with a plan, but
who will be put in danger? And who will win the NCAA Championship?
