The issues of male body image and rivalry come together in HalfCourt Trap. Thirteenyearold Nigel is teased and belittled at home because of his weight so when an opposing player's trash talk enrages him, he vows revenge. When his enemy becomes a teammate, Nigel plots to make him look bad and get him off the team. As Nigel finds out more about his rival, he not only learns empathy but comes to a new perspective on himself and acceptance of his body shape.Distributed in the U.S by Lerner Publishing Group.
