Priya's wheelchair basketball team is one player short for the big junior tournament at Stoke Mandeville, birthplace of the Paralympic movement. Kai, who has never sat in a basketball chair, says he'll make up the numbers: how hard can basketball sitting down be? By the first game he finds out, and costs the team a win. Now the Hornets have to win every game, in a sport Kai is only just learning to see.

About the Game Changers series
Game Changers is a series of illustrated adventures for readers aged ten to twelve about the science and history of sport. Kai, who plays first and thinks later, and Priya, who films everything and plays wheelchair basketball, help at Coach Ines's free Saturday sports lab in Manchester. Each book takes one sport and one real problem a player or team brings to the lab, and shows the science that decides the result and the history behind the game.
