A wonderful Read-Out-Loud August 23, 2005

As a substitute teacher, this was my savior! The kids were taken with the story line and characters instantly. Each time I'd begin the book with a new group of children, I'd have to leave my copy in the classroom so the students could take turns finishing it. The story is an excellent read-aloud for the younger ones in lower school, as well as for the enjoyment of young teens---

This is a really cool basketball book. Lots of exciting games and some good tips on playing too. Except I hate the part about the girl playing better than the boys.

I loved this slim volume. Once the story gathered momentum, I coudn't put it down. It's a beautifully crafted tale, rich and excitng. It might be aimed at adolescents, but this 58 year old would recommend it to people of all ages.
In addition to its engaging story, it has many life lessons to teach--about following the crowd or being your own person, about owning up after you've blown it, about being a team player or a lone star, about staying in the process versus focusing on the outcome, about how to treat a friend.
I'd also recommend it as a gift for a pre-adolescent child or grandchild, since it combines some good tips on basketball with some equally good tips on growing up--all wrapped in an exciting story

Dharma Demons is a fantastic book and spins a story to which many can relate. It has many sides, dealing with sports and action, the wit of youth, and most importantly growing up. It's a fun book to read, its neither too long nor too short, and leaves a mark- for the better- on any who reads it. I would recommend this book to anyone.
