Blurbs

This task is about writing a blurb.
Many books have a 'blurb'. 
Below is the 'blurb' from the book 'Give It Hoops' by David Hill (text abridged), published by Scholastic NZ Ltd. 
 
'Give It Hoops' by David Hill.
 
There were a few calls of "Waste them!" and "She's a bloody cripple!" from the Bank Street benches. Bank Street tried to speed up their game as they drove hard for a lay-up under the basket. They tried to dominate down court and attack St Andrews with their sheer size. Amber's eyes were blazing like Chuckie the Killer Doll. Hamish gasped ...
 
St Andrews have to make the Top 4. They need the money to upgrade their basketball court. But first they have to beat Bank Street - the team with the crude on-court tactics. Ethan, the best St Andrews player, gets an elbow jabbed in his ribs and his legs turn to jelly. Without their star player, how can they shoot a hoop to win the game?
