Description
Beanball is a gripping novel about a pivotal moment in a high school baseball game that changes the life of its protagonist forever. A wild pitch shatters his skull, destroys his vision, and sets off a chain of events recounted through free-verse monologues by 28 different voices. The story unfolds through a unique format, featuring contributions from Luke's teammates, family members, teachers, and even a new classmate who seems more affected by the injury than his girlfriend. With its thought-provoking subject matter and concise language, Beanball is a fast-paced read that explores the complexities of life after an accident. This novel offers a compelling look at the impact of one event on individuals and communities, making it a worthwhile read for those interested in sports fiction or stories about resilience and recovery.
