Synopsis

Readers of Hoop Crazy will remember Ned as the bug-loving beanpole who lives in an isolated national park out West, three hours from the nearest basketball court. But Ned's participation in the three-on-three tournament when he visited Nick has sparked his interest in the game and now he and his father have built their own basketball court in the wilderness. And Ned's hoop skills have improved considerably. Nick and Kia are just beginning to get the hang of life in the wilderness when disaster strikes. A raging forest fire threatens to destroy Ned's home and cut off their escape.

From the Back Cover:

Basketball season may be over, but Nick and Kia are about to experience the adventure of a lifetime when they visit Nick's cousin Ned during their summer vacation. Though Ned is still more interested in bugs than basketball, his hoop skills are improving since he and his father built a court near their wilderness home. Nick and Kia are just beginning to appreciate the different life that Ned lives when disaster strikes. Eric Walters lives in Mississauga, Ontario, and spends as much time as possible visiting kids in classrooms all over the country.
