Ghost Most Foul

At fourteen, Summer Widden breathes and lives basketball. As the tallest girl on her middle school team, she’s looking forward to a great season. Coach Nolan even believes this team could make it to the Provincials. And, as she tells them, it’s not about winning, it’s about how you win.

Summer suddenly jolts up in terror in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve. That same night, Coach Nolan’s plane goes down in the Caribbean, and there are no survivors. Suddenly, the team gets a new coach, and the group dynamics Coach Nolan had worked hard to suppress are back. Summer’s friends do not like Dodie and pick on her, and Coach Rogers plays favorite. Worse, Summer now sees the ghost of Coach Nolan, who is trying to convey a message to Summer. Amid counseling and mental breakdowns, with a basketball season hitting the skids, can Summer discover what the ghost want before it’s too late to salvage the Provincials?
