Slingers is what might happen if Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street married a Mike Lupica sports novel. Told in first-person vignettes, it’s the story of Kalinda Davis, a sharpshooting eighth-grade hoops prodigy trying to figure out how to devote herself to her art (basketball) while dealing with her older teammates’ jealousy. Slingers is an ode to a beautiful game. It’s about coming of age while trying to fit in and excel at the same time.
