One bad shot, one smashed pumpkin, one promise that’s oh-so annoying.

When a backyard basketball game goes spectacularly wrong, Lovy Prentiss makes a deal she instantly regrets. Avoiding an awkward neighbour is hard enough; walking to school with him and friending him online feels impossible. As promises tangle with playground politics, trading cards, and a very special “hero” card, Lovy learns that first impressions can be misleading. Or are they?

A curiously funny school tale of sport, friendship, and doing the right thing—even when it’s inconvenient.

You’ll find:

  • A confident girl protagonist who loves basketball
  • Friendship, empathy, and keeping your word
  • Light school drama, gentle humour, feel-good payoff
  • Short chapters and lively dialogue for independent readers

Great for shared reading at home or independent reading at school.
