#1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica makes his return to the basketball court! There's a reason teammates call him "True." Because for basketball phenom Drew Robinson, there is nothing more true than his talent on the court. It's the kind that comes along once in a generation and is loaded with perks--and with problems. Before long, True buys in to his own hype, much to the chagrin of his mother, who wants to keep her boy's head grounded--and suddenly trouble has a way of finding him. That is, until a washed-up former playground legend steps back onto the court and takes True under his wing.

True Legend by Mike Lupica is a very entertaining book. Drew "True" Robinson is a very good basketball player. He moved to San Francisco with a lot of hype and he has lived up to it. He starts to believe in his own hype and makes some bad decisions, and starting to getting into trouble. That is, until Sellers, a washed up playground legend steps in to help and takes him under his wing, and he turns it around.I gave this book a five out of five stars because it was very good and had a good balance of basketball and his life, it was also very entertaining.
I think you should read the book True Legend. It is about a teenager that plays basketball. His name is Drew Robinson. He has a little competition. That is why I like the story. One day he goes to a basketball park and meets a guy named Donald, who is super good at playing basketball. My favorite characters are Drew, Lee, the ghost guy who calls himself Donald, Mr. G and King Gadsen.In MY book, this book is number one! I like reading True Legacy because it is funny and strange. This book is a favorite because it has lots of detail. I also like True Legend because it is a long book and I really like long stories.I recommend this book to people whom like laughing when they read. Children 8 and older will like this book.
My 7 year old loves this book. He's an intermediate reader who enjoys reading 3rd-4th grade level books. This one was perfect for him. It's an inspirational story about how to overcome fear and self-doubt. HIghly recommend.
Drew Robinson is ranked number 1 in the country at basketball. Throughout the book he shows the challenges, and the perks of this. They combine this with a good best friend, a ghost like old basketball legend, and a girl that he has a crush on. This is the best basketball book I have ever read and I recommend to anyone who is a basketball fan. It's another best seller by Mike Lupica. A slam dunk by far.
this is the best by Lupica by far. The character, Drew Robison, is very relatable to a kid athlete. Very good
True Legend,by Mike Lupica is about Drew Robinson. Drew is a really good basketball player, he's a junior at Oakton Academy. He is the top recruit for high school basketball. Drew likes to shoot around at this place called Morrieson Park and there he meets a washed-up playground legend from Sacramento, Urban Shellings. He was previously thought to be dead from a fire but it was his brother who really died and they assumed that he was the one who died. He didn't confront the police because he wanted to just get away from his past, his ruined brilliant career. Now Drew faces a similar situation and he doesn't want to end up like Urban.
Bought for my 12 yr old grandson and he just finished reading it. Is now doing book report and said it's a great book about a boy who's really good at basketball and it kind of goes to his head. How he gets back on track makes up the action in this story.
Good read for youth. My 13 year old grandson loves basketball and this book tells a good story as well as important lessons in life to be learned'. His comment was, " that was a really good book"! He loved it and read it quickly!
