Description
Told in dynamic, lyrical verse, this coming-of-age novel follows Nick Hall, an eighth-grade soccer star navigating the pressures of school, his father’s high expectations, and the confusing thrill of a first crush. As his parents’ marriage faces uncertainty and his family adjusts to major changes, Nick must find his own voice beyond the soccer field and the expectations placed upon him. Witty, heartfelt, and energetic, the story explores family, friendship, identity, love, and the transformative power of words.
