The Pivot (The Chronicles of Jonathan Spencer, Book 2)

Summer camps are supposed to be fun, right? After successfully navigating 6th grade, Jonathan Spencer is headed to a camp for elite boys and girls basketball players. The weeklong experience is filled with challenges; some inside John’s head, and some for all to see. He faces crippling anxiety and fear of failure, but also a new set of rivals who make 6th grade’s Slammo seem friendly. Along the way, Jonathan gets guidance from an all-American superstar, and he makes some unexpected friendships, but will it be enough to survive the longest week of his life?

Written for the middle schooler in your life, The Chronicles of Jonathan Spencer is a funny and relatable coming-of-age book series that helps kids navigate life’s challenges—friendship shifts, self-doubt, and discovering what they truly love—both on and off the court.
