Out of Bounds
(2024)(The first book in the Too-Tall Tales of Alma T Best series)
A novel by Katherine Collette
When you're 12 years old and 6 foot tall, people ask the most annoying questions. The Number One Most Annoying Question according to Alma T. Best is, 'Do you play basketball?'
Uh, no. She hates basketball.
Then Alma wins a scholarship to attend Holy Grace, a fancy, basketball-obsessed girls' school and she worries about fitting in.
And rather than admit she lives in Shellsville, home to Holy Grace's biggest basketball rivals, she lies and pretends to have grown up on a distant peach farm.
But when a twist of fate means Alma has to suddenly produce large quantities of peaches, she finds herself in a bit of a jam.
Genre: Children's Fiction
