IN THE SWISH Bennett Ryan is a superb young basketball player who propelled her team to a regional championship. But in her senior year she discovers there's a lot she doesn't know. She has to switch schools, for one thing, and learn to fit in with the team she helped to defeat in the finals the previous year. What's more she confronts a far more complex world than she's been used to - a new friend who is on the autism spectrum, as well as team-mates from a diversity of cultures. Finally she has to face her old team-and some old assumptions-in a dramatic playoff game. In the Swish is a coming of age story about friendships made and friendships tested set against the fast-paced world of competitive girls' basketball.
