This review is from: Backboard Fever (Chip Hilton Sports) (Paperback)

This is another excellent installment in the updated versions of Coach Clair Bee's Chip Hilton series. This time, Chip Hilton endures the frustrations of being sidelined by an injury as basketball season begins at the state university, but he finds opportunities to help others while he is recovering. Yet another interesting and cohesive plot with unexpected twists, great sports action scenes, and fine character development. Chip Hilton and his Christian friends are inspiring, but realistic as well; they do make mistakes and learn from them. Some of the 'villains' in the story, including a talented but spoiled basketball player and his over-indulgent father, also learn from their mistakes. All parents should read this book as well; a well-integrated subplot carries an effective warning about the bad consequences of parents' playing favorites with their children.
