Last Shot: A Final Four Mystery is by John Feinstein. A fantastic book for boys who are reluctant readers. I personally like Feinstein's style more than Mike Lupica's. Steve and Susan Carol win a contest for 8th graders to cover the Final Four in New Orleans. While there they overhear a conversation with a star player and another man. The player is being blackmailed into throwing the championship game. Steve and Susan decide to help the player, but with millions involved the stakes may well be their lives. A great story! It has enough basketball and sports trivia to satisfy even the most rabid fan.
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
