No one here is perfect, and their failures make readers cringe yet root for success. Hoops and so much more.” (Kirkus Reviews)“There’s much to love in this sports tale. Fast-paced play-by-plays vividly depict the speed and beauty of the game. Adam’s backstory is heartrending and with immigrant mistrust and nonviolent protests in the national spotlight, this is a timely and realistic teen drama and swish—nothin’ but net.” (School Library Journal)“This sports/school/domestic drama checks all the boxes. What could be another boilerplate basketball novel benefits from a tight cast of well developed secondary characters who surpass their expected stereotypes.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books)“Funny, gut-wrenching, and spilling over with heart, Hooper is an uplifting breath of joy, and gives us all cause to be hopeful. I loved it!” (Andrew Smith, Michael L. Printz Honor and New York Times Bestselling author of Winger and Grasshopper Jungle)“Fresh, funny, thoughtful, subversive, and totally absorbing. Book of the year!” (Robert Lipsyte, Margaret A. Edwards award-winning author of The Contender)“Hooper is a slam dunk! A sports novel with incredible action and tons of heart. I challenge you not to fall in love with these terrific, flawed characters, and just try to put this one down once you start. Impossible.” (Bill Konigsberg, Award-Winning Author of Honestly Ben)“Raw, funny, and deeply honest, Geoff Herbach gifts us a story about the messiness of life and the importance of talking about it—ultimately showing us how to not only trudge through it, but to soar.” (Gae Polisner, author of In Sight of Stars and The Memory of Things)“Author Geoff Herbach has a remarkable ability to create characters who make us laugh and think, sometimes within the same sentence. Read Hooper and let your self be changed.” (John Coy, author of Gap Life )“Geoff Herbach captures rural-urban rivalries and the challenges of finding a home.” (Minneapolis Star Tribune) Read more About the Author Geoff Herbach is the author of Hooper and the award-winning Stupid Fast series, as well as Fat Boy vs. the Cheerleaders.

They connected with the characters and engaged in rich conversations around the issues presented. (It's rare to find a book where every character learns and grows.) Looking forward to the AUDIBLE version and the MOTION PICTURE. (Amazon are you listening?) It's just that good! Thanks, Geoff Herbach! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👍 *by A***R on February 27, 2019* 😊 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by K***S on May 16, 2018* My 14-year-old son really enjoyed this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/94964416-hooper](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/94964416-hooper) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
