An accident.
A dream shattered.
Ten-year-old Kate Taylor wants to be the star of her
basketball team, Angels, but when her tooth is knocked out at one of the games,
her goal is in jeopardy. Even though the dentist replants the tooth, her mother,
who is also her coach, refuses to let Kate play unless she can come up with a
way to protect the tooth.
With the encouragement of her friends and teammates,
Kate tries everything. She asks her sister, Zoe, how her boyfriend, Ray,
protects his teeth when playing football. Zoe is clueless. Kate wears her friend
Simon’s catcher’s mask to practice, but it’s too big and blocks her view of the
goal. Kate stuffs cotton balls in her mouth and thinks she’s swallowed one.
Nothing works.
To add to Kate’s problems, Emily, the new girl at River
Bend Elementary, is great at basketball. Kate worries Emily will be the star of
the team. On top of that, Simon, the school brain, as well as klutz, says he
plans to join the Angels, even though boys are not allowed.
In the final game of the season, Kate faces a decision
that will not only decide who wins the game, but whether she’s star of the team
or not.
