Ultimate Sibling Showdown is an important book about sports. And kids, and a sibling rivalry that will keep you on the edge of your couch in suspense!

And guess who tells the story? A group of “kid reporters” who chronicle the playground drama where legends are made. 

It’s a vital time for this book. Sports are on the rebound. Kids see lots of rivalries that get ugly. We want to give up, and we need models of persistence, strength, and hoop excellence – like the real legends who inspired this story.

The book is a partnership between Donna Griffin, a seasoned journalism teacher who has helped hundreds of minority students find their voice, and Jay, a young musician who is a talented illustrator.
