For next week’s giveaway, we’ve got something to occupy your young sports fans after basketball season ends next month. Hoop Genius: How a Desperate Teacher and a Rowdy Gym Class Invented Basketball is a new nonfiction picture book from Carolrhoda Books. It tells the true story of James Naismith, whose dilemma should be familiar to any overworked teacher: How could he keep his students from killing each other with their roughhousing, while still allowing them to have fun? The solution he came up with in 1891 turned into the beloved sport still played today.
If you’re intrigued on behalf of an athletically-minded young reader, throw your name in next week’s Free Book Friday hat by leaving a comment below (with your name or alias) or by Tweeting the following line: “Free Book Friday! RT to win HOOP GENIUS from @LernerBooks. bit.ly/1OrSN.” Then check the Lerner blog post on Friday, March 15 to see if you’ve won!
