Description
Shane Hunter's life is turned upside down in the spring of his sophomore year. A sudden and unexpected event forces him to confront the unfairness and purposelessness he feels in his privileged world. As Shane navigates this difficult time, he finds solace in the game of baseball. Exciting sports scenes transport readers into the stands, while complex issues engage their hearts and minds. This novel explores themes of loss, morality, and redemption through the lens of baseball. It raises questions about the power of truth to shape lives and how to move forward when faced with difficult choices. Through Shane's story, Carl Deuker examines the challenges of growing up and finding one's place in the world. With nuanced and thought-provoking writing, this book encourages readers to consider their own values and principles.
