Hoops and Hopes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For twelve-year-old Autumn Holloway, a week at Blazing Hoops wheelchair basketball camp is a dream come true. She has high hopes that it will be her ticket to making friends and connections in the adaptive sports community. But Autumn struggles to fit in with her wealthier fellow campers. To make matters worse, she has to use a borrowed basketball wheelchair that keeps needing repairs. It takes a chance encounter with the campus custodial staff to help Autumn realize that, no matter where she\u2019s from or how she speaks, she belongs at camp\u2014and on the court\u2014just as much as anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
