Hot Hand!
It's simple. All Zach Raynor wants to do is shoot. After all, he is one of the best shooters in the league. But with his dad as his coach, and his parents newly separated, somehow everything's become complicated. His brother Ben, the piano prodigy, hardly talks anymore. His mom is always traveling on business. And his dad is always on his case about not being a team player. But when Ben's piano recital falls on the same day as the championship game, it is Zach who teaches his dad the true meaning of being a team player.

The Comeback Kids is a series of five separate stories about five boys for whom sport is almost everything. Jake loves to play soccer; Chris is passionate about football; Zach and Pedro live for basketball; and Nick wants to belong on the baseball field. In differing ways, all the boys discover that rarely is the desire to play free from outside factors—factors such as friendships, peer group and family pressures, and the challenges of performing well in a sport you love.
