How Lamar's Bad Prank Won a Bubba-Sized Trophy by Crystal Allen

Thirteen-year-old bowling phenom, Lamar, has a reputation for playing pranks, a basketball-star older brother who treats him with contempt, and a great yearning for a girlfriend.  On top of that, he's got a smart mouth which continually complicates his life.  After hooking up with a juvenile offender to set up suckers in bowling competitions, his life spirals downward.  A prank goes horribly wrong and the resulting consequences threaten his brother's hopes for a sports career, a new romance, and the relationship with his best friend.  A wonderful mix of tender and hilarious.
