THE CAMEL BLUES

About the Book

And so, I will tell you about Camel College and how one man nearly destroyed my love for the game. For all of the years until now, basketball was at times surreal when I was on the court

The basketball adventures of Dandyboy continue in The Camel Blues, the sequel to Dandyboy and the Impossible Dream. In his own words, Dandyboy tells of the challenges, disappointments, ordeals, and lessons he has learned from his college experience.

Dandyboy had a stellar athletic year as a high school senior, leading his team in scoring, as well as being one of the top ten scorers in the conference. With college just around the corner, Dandyboy, recruited to play basketball, decides to attend Diplomat College, a highly regarded academic school that boasts an outstanding basketball program. However, after budget cuts eliminate the sub varsity team at Diplomat and Dandyboy fails to make the varsity squad, he transfers to Camel College to play the game he loves.

Have the early days of triumph, championships, and lessons taught by the Guardfather prepared him for his future with the Camels?
