      ABOUT YOUR GAME

      YOU are a talented basketball player who has used your skills to help your team reach the championship game. But there’s just one problem. Your school has never won the championship, while your opponent has won the title many times in the past. People say your team is cursed when playing this team. Can you put your superstitions aside to help lead your team to victory?

      Chapter One sets the scene. Then you choose which path to read. Follow the links at the bottom of each page as you read the stories. The decisions you make will change your outcome. After you finish one path, go back and read the others for new perspectives and more adventures. Use your device's back buttons or page navigation to jump back to your last choice.

      CHAPTER 1

      THE EDGEVIEW CURSE

      Argh! Where are they?

      Your room is a mess. Books, sports equipment, and clothes are scattered around the floor. You lift a pair of sweatpants to look underneath them. No luck.

      Your dad appears in your doorway. Are you ready to go? he asks.

      You shake your head. I need my lucky socks, you tell him.

      Those stinky old things? he asks. They’re in the laundry room.

      You dash down the stairs. Your older brother, Nick, is at the bottom, and you nearly crash into him. Whoa! he says, spinning in a circle. Save that speed for the court, bro!

      You ignore him, hurrying into the laundry room. Stacks of clean clothes sit on a table. Are your lucky socks among them? You hope not. You’re crazy superstitious, and you haven’t washed them since your basketball team went on a winning streak. Today is the championship game, and if the luck has been washed from your socks, you don’t know what will happen.

      You spy a hint of white with two green stripes poking out from the dirty clothes on the floor.

      You sigh with relief, pluck the dirty socks from the pile, and slip them on your bare feet. You wiggle your toes. Perfect.

      Your family piles into the car. You sit with Nick in the back seat.

      So, he says, are you nervous about the Edgeview Curse?

      You stare at Nick. How could he bring up the curse now?

      The Edgeview Middle School Tigers have never won a championship before. They’ve made it to the big game—Nick was on the team two of those times—but they’ve never won.

      We’re on a hot streak, you tell him. I think we’ve got a great chance.

      Nick sighs and looks out his window. Yeah, he says. I remember thinking that too.

      At school, you walk past the trophy case on your way to the locker room. It’s filled with second-place and participation trophies. They’re constant reminders of the school’s history.

      To make matters worse, today you’ll face the same team Nick lost to when he played. The same team that’s won the championship too many times to count—the Haverford Vipers.

      Most of your teammates are already in the locker room. Speedy Saddiq Omar. Liu Zhang, the team’s assist leader. The tall Duncan Dunc Greene. And Charlie Peretti, the most superstitious of all. Just like you, he’s wearing a lucky pair of dirty socks. He’s doing the same routine he’s done before every game—chewing gum with his earbuds in, listening to music. Coach Willis is there too.
