Overview

When fourteen-year-old Laura is diagnosed with leukemia, her younger brother James knows he has to do something to help her battle her silent enemy. But what can a fifth-grade boy possibly contribute to an all-out war against cancer? A random conversation with his school's custodian leads James to understand that giving a patient hope can be a valuable weapon in the fight for survival. With support from his best friend Luke, James jumps headfirst into Project Laura-a roller-coaster effort to give his sister a glimmer of light at the end of a very dark tunnel. James and Luke decide that buying Laura tickets to the upcoming national college basketball tournament would be the perfect motivator. But how can they come up with the money for this very expensive event? James comes very close to coming up with the funds when he tries to take advantage of his uncanny ability to shoot a basketball by entering a free-throw shooting contest, but he falls short and Project Laura appears doomed. But rescue comes from the most unlikely source-James's archenemy Dylan, who, it turns out, is fighting his own silent battle.
