Take Your Best Shot

“Take your Best Shot” was an inspiring and motivating book to read. Austin at age 9, founded Hoops of Hope. This foundation raised money more for kids orphaned due to Aids. He reached out to these kids, and gave them hope through basketball. Austin was selfless in his quest to help these kids. Austin writes about his journey to Africa, and how the Aids epidemic has affected people and children in Africa. The book is easy to read, and would be simple to incorporate into a group book. Austin shows that with a little drive anyone can reach out and help those less fortunate. I plan on reading this book with my own 8 year old. This book will be an excellent teaching tool about children who live very different lives from himself. I hope this book will open his eyes and teach him how he can help others too. I especially appreciated the spiritual aspects found throughout the book. Austin believed God wanted him to pursue this charity, and he strived to fulfill God’s will. This book was truly amazing.
