by MST Amar'e Stoudemire, Tim Jessell (Illustrator)

Young Amar'e Stoudemire is back in the all-star basketball adventure--STAT: Standing Tall and Talented!

Amar'e's idol, Overtime Tanner plans the biggest streetball tournament every year. But when Overtime gets hurt during a basketball game, he can't make the arrangements in time. Amar'e and his friends help set the tournament up.

On top of that, each group of Amar'e's' friends wants him to play for their team and he's torn on what to do. Planning a tournament is a lot more work than playing in one. Will Amar'e's hard work pay off?

Based on the life of All-Star NBA sensation Amar'e Stoudemire, who overcame many obstacles to become one of the most popular figures in sports today.

this book was super good, i love how the author used important life lessons and combined that with basketball to make an over great read.

I thought this was one of the best books in the series. However, the last 2 sentences didn't end the book very well.

I read most valuable by Amar'e Stoudemire it is about the nba player Amar'e Stoudemire when he was a kid. In the book Amar'e gets invited to a basketball tournament called the classic. he goes there and they guy who runs the tournament get hurt so he can't do it. Amar'e and his friends start the tournament and at the end he gets the mvp. I would recommend this book
