The first time Brad Sureshot met Tom Ole Tunda he looked up. And up. And up. And then he looked up some more. After Brad was done looking up, he could only say one word. The word was "Wow." That's what most kids said the first time they met Tom, the tall newcomer to the Courtside Sparks, boys' basketball team. Brad, the son of two coaches and self-confessed "basketball brain," seemed happiest of all because the smiling, soft-spoken Tom just might be the one to lead the boys to their first championship. But while practicing in the gym one day, suddenly Tom disappears. The only clues are a broken shoelace, a magazine, and a scent that "smells like summer." Although he is puzzled, Brad is determined to find his friend as he follows a trail which leads from his small town deep into the heart of Africa. Join Brad, his friends Chris, Harvey, Ursula, and his eccentric Aunt Aggie as they try to put together the clues which will help them discover where and who Tom really is. As an added bonus, after each chapter you will find instructions on basketball skills both boys and girls can enjoy.
