Roopster Roux will have to use his brains as well as his b-ball skills if the Vikings are going to beat the Monster All-Stars in a Halloween game. Roopster loves to dribble, but he also loves to riddle! He even reads his favorite joke and riddle book before the big Halloween game. But riddles can't help Roopster and his team beat the Monster All-Stars . or can they? The answer to that riddle can be found only if you read the book. So, what are you waiting for? Roopster Roux loves to read and wants you to love to read too! But he can't convince you all by himself. As any basketball fan knows, a team has five players on the court at all times. So, Roopster has selected his own all-star Reading Team: Brent Barry, of the Miami Heat; Cynthia Cooper, of the Houston Comets; A. C.

Green, of the Dallas Mavericks; and Tammi Reiss, of the Utah Starzz. Together, they hope to show you that reading can be as much fun as a fast break, a three-pointer, or a slam dunk! An audiocassette version of this book is also available from Pelican. It is narrated by Roopster's friend Brent Barry, of the Miami Heat.
