Take The Court by Bob Lanier and Heather Goodyear
This is the second book in the Hey L’il D! series.
L’il D and his friends have always played basketball at recess, but Brooks and his friends have decided to take over the court, just to be mean. L’il D and his pals are determined to get the court back, but without involving adults. They want to solve their problems on their own. They try several solutions on their own before realizing they’re going to need to tell a teacher about what’s been happening.
Again, with typical elementary school problems and easy to read text, this is a great pick for advanced first or second graders or struggling third or fourth graders.
