Description

A High Five for Glenn Burke by Phil Bildner is a powerful story about self-discovery and acceptance. When sixth grader Silas Wade researches former Major Leaguer Glenn Burke, he uncovers the true story of a baseball player who broke barriers in the 1970s.

As Silas learns more about Burke's life, he begins to see parallels between his own struggles with identity and Burke's courageous journey. With the support of his best friend Zoey, Silas takes a brave step towards revealing his own truth, but soon realizes that keeping secrets can have unintended consequences.

This heartfelt novel explores the challenges of being true to oneself, especially when not everyone feels you belong. A thought-provoking and relatable story for readers looking for a authentic portrayal of identity and acceptance.
