Description
This coming-of-age novel tells the story of Ezekiel "Zeke" Archer, a high school basketball star who has it all. However, after a temperamental outburst in the city championship, Zeke's life is turned upside down, forcing him to confront his past and make an unexpected discovery. With the help of a young autistic classmate, Zeke embarks on a cross-country road trip to save basketball from being taken away forever. Along the way, he must face his unsettled past, including a father he hasn't heard from in years and a brother fighting in a war half a world away. As Zeke navigates this challenging journey, he learns valuable lessons about friendship, perseverance, and finding his true path. Through its thought-provoking themes and engaging storyline, this novel explores the complexities of life, identity, and community, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in coming-of-age stories or sports fiction.
