"Foul Trouble" by John Feinstein (400 pages)

You would think the #1 basketball player in the country was the living the dream, right? Guess again. Terrell Jamerson goes to  high school in Lexington, Massachusetts. His basketball team is predicted to win States, he has scholarship offers from any college of his choice, and everyone says he’d have no problem playing in the NBA in no time. But one wrong move- and all of that can be gone.

 Danny Wilcox is Terrell’s best friend and teammate. He is a top player himself, but is constantly living in Terrell’s shadow. Danny’s dadthe high school team’s coach, is constantly watching out for his son and Terrell. But not everyone has Terrell’s best interests at heart, and soon Danny starts to realize that. When Terrell gets into trouble at summer basketball camp, he starts to think about who his real friends truly are. As it gets closer to  the time for Terrell and Danny to choose which college they will attend after they graduate, it becomes clear who has Terrell’s best interests in mind and who is going to just to take advantage of him.

 Everyone  says they are will do anything to help Terrell, but that’s the problem - that kind of help could lead Terrell down a dark path. Find out the path Terrell picks as he learns the dirty business of college recruiting. It’s a long, but easy read, and you won’t want to stop turning the pages.
