Wow! I've been waiting for Carl Deuker to release a new book for almost two years. He is my favorite fiction sports author. He didn't disappoint with this book! I blew thru this book in less than 2 days. Can't wait to get this one in the hands of some of our sports fans at school.
From Goodreads.com:
Levi was simple, like a child. It was the best thing about him, and it was the worst, too.
When high school senior Jonas moves to Seattle, he is glad to meet Levi, a nice, soft-spoken guy and fellow basketball player. Suspense builds like a slow drumbeat as readers start to smell a rat in Ryan Hartwell, a charismatic basketball coach and sexual predator. When Levi reluctantly tells Jonas that Hartwell abused him, Jonas has to decide whether he should risk his future career to report the coach. Pitch-perfect basketball plays, well-developed characters, and fine storytelling make this heartbreaking psychological sports novel a slam dunk.
