Axtell 1st Graders Hooked on Reading!

Axtell Elementary Students Can't Get Enough of the Lil Baller Series!

The elementary students are hooked on the Lil Baller books by Stephanie Rudnik — they can’t keep them on the shelves! These fun, fast-paced stories feature relatable characters and exciting basketball action, making them a hit with young sports enthusiasts.

The standout favorite in the series is Bling Baller. In this story, the main character is obsessed with the latest and most expensive basketball gear. But thanks to Coach Swish, he learns an important life lesson: it’s not the gear that makes a great player — it’s talent, effort, and hard work.
