THE HOOP KID
|
Praise for 'The Hoop Kid From Elmdale Park'
This was such an enjoyable read! I love the nice, upbeat story, the realistic characters, and the fantastic humor (particularly with G5000’s antics). Bernard is such a relatable character, and he’s a great true-to-life role model. Readers are sure to appreciate the basketball lingo, his love of the game, and his determination to fight the good fight. - Angelle Pilkington
The book includes illustrations of comic book characters that bring the text to life. I loved the "family" aspect of the story. The binding together of all the generations to fight for a worthy cause for the future of their town. Bernard Jones is a true-to-life role model for kids from everywhere. - Story Wraps
Teko Bernard has created a wonderfully diverse cast of characters, both young and old. Our young hero Bernard is a super likable, relatable, and plucky guy who isn’t obnoxiously perfect or too flawed. He’s someone young readers will believe in and want to be friends with. I like that there’s also a female character that is not only smart and funny, but also athletic. The most unusual and interesting character isn’t human at all, but a talking, thinking, coaching basketball! - Word Spelunking
A fun fast-paced read that provides a great cast of characters who each have a different quirk and skill-set. This was a nice combination of fantasy and reality and I loved the characterization of Bernard's coach. The actions of one of Bernard's biggest rivals was a little surprising but the excitement of a hard-fought basketball game and the importance of strategy and determination is delightfully conveyed. Hopefully there will be more of these entertaining stories. -The Reading Addict
This is a fun story, especially for boys. It’s well paced, keeping the interest of even sluggish readers, and offers a topic that will make a sport lover’s heart beat faster. -Dr. S. Drecker, Bookworm for Kids
