Thirteen WNBA stars of the present get fast-break tributes in this follow-up to 2003’s Hoop Queens. . . . A surefire fan pleaser.
—Kirkus Reviews
A companion of sorts to Smith’s Hoop Queens (2003), this latest celebrates 12 additional WNBA stars in poetry, each poem being different in form and type but having in common the energy that language brings to the page. This is reinforced by the accompanying photographic portraits that capture each star in action. . . . A choice pick for classroom users and independent readers alike.
