Praise

★ “This engaging novel tackles themes of bullying, ­racism, segregation, strength, and forgiveness. . . A home run of a book that is brave enough to speak the hard truths. . .”—School Library Journal, Starred Review

★ “An outstanding blend of history, sports, and coming of age: not to be missed.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“Headen captures the layers of racism  embedded in a southern town where the histories of Black and white communities intertwine.”The Horn Book

“Along with creating a protagonist strong enough to exercise good judgment despite provocation, the author assembles a cast rich in people of good will. . .”—Booklist

“The protagonist’s first-person POV adds immediacy to this emotionally charged sports novel, making for a winning combination of action-driven plotting and underlying historical tension that will inspire discussion surrounding Jim Crow era and contemporary prejudice.”Publishers Weekly
