In "Night Hoops", the main character, Sticky, goes through a lot of change throughout the book. At first, he is stealing and not caring about others but himself, but by the end of the book he is just working on his basketball game and his shot and a lot of the other stuff doesn't affect or get to him.

In my book, "Night Hoops", the main character Nick's older brother Scott is a varsity basketball player and Nick often lives in his shadows. But when Scott ditches basketball to be in jazz band full time, Nick works harder than ever and ends up leading the basketball team to the State championship and becomes the star of the team.

In my book, "Night Hoops", it tells the story of an unlikely friendship between two high school basketball players. Trent, a troubled teen is befriended by Nick, who is a benchwarmer turned star basketball player. Nick never lost hope in Trent and eventually made Trent come around and led the team to the state championship. Their friendship shows that no matter a person's story, it's never to late to turn it around.
