Biography
Double Dunk
Earl “The Goat” Manigault had what it takes to become a superstar: incredible leaping ability, great timing, and unstoppable moves. He set a New York City junior high school record by scoring 52 points in one game. In high school and on the playgrounds of Harlem, he astonished opponents with his acrobatic shots, including the patented double dunk.
WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:
"This is a book which every high school and perhaps junior high school should read."
--Jerry Izenberg, Newark Star Ledger
"A tough, streetwise novel packed with an important message for young readers. Double Dunk is both a harsh look at the drug problem in the United States and an inspiring story of one man's ability to overcome the problem."
"A graphic reminder of the undeveloped potential roaming our schoolyard basketball courts."
