- Synopsis
- From the dust jacket: "Nutty Nutsell is back, this time with his local recreational basketball team--the Lab School Labradors--and the Labradors are in trouble. The team has only won one game in two years, and that game only because the other team forfeited. Worse than that, this year their coach is Nutty's father, who makes long-winded speeches about team spirit and pride, but knows nothing about basketball. The answer? William Bilks, boy genius, of course. Although William doesn't know a whole lot about basketball either, he is willing to research basketball strategy and help develop some plays. But beyond that he tries something different--working with Nutty on a deep concentration technique, much like imaging, in which Nutty imagines himself making a perfect shot and then, in reality, does it. It is not long before the team is at the top and Nutty is a fifth-grade basketball phenomenon. Everything he does is perfect. No one has ever seen anyone play the sport like him before. He is certain to get a college scholarship, to play in the NBA. His future is unlimited, that is until Nutty, who feels nothing while in his "trance," has second thoughts about whether all the success and fame are worth the price of being nothing but a machine." This is the fourth book in the Nutty Nutsell series,. You'll find NUTTY FOR PRESIDENT, NUTTY AND THE CASE OF THE MASTERMIND THIEF, and NUTTY AND THE CASE OF THE SKI-SLOPE SPY in the Bookshare Collection.
