Athlete vs Mathlete

When their two worlds collide in Seventh Grade, the Owen and Russell find themselves in direct competition at school, on the court and at home. The Evans brothers are fraternal twins, with nothing in common but an address. Owen Evans lights up the scoreboards during the basketball season while his fraternal twin, Russell, is all about the Honor Roll and loves the challenge of his Masters of the Mind competitions. But when a new basketball coach needs Russell’s height at center court, a jealous Owen has to fight to stay in the game. And with a championship at stake, Owen must decide whether his brother’s failure is more important than the team’s success. Russell is ready to lead his Masters of the Mind team to victory this season. That is, until he’s forced into a new and unexpected role, as center on his twin brother Owen’s basketball team. Then Arthur Richardson the Third bullies his way onto the team with an eye on Russell’s leadership position. Arthur is no pushover. In fact, Russell’s never dealt with anyone quite like him. But Owen has. The clock is ticking, and it doesn’t take a master of the mind to know that the only way Russell can save the season is to team up with his twin and take it back. Over the course of the school year, Owen and Russell must decide which battles are worth fighting, whose feelings are worth hurting and when to just let it go. By the end of the year, the twins have learned how to support and appreciate one another and they’re ready to enter Eighth Grade as not only brothers, but friends. “It’s a good story with a good message … if you have a young hockey fan who is perhaps a reluctant reader or struggling a bit in school, W.
