This is one of the most uplifting stories of the year. Who can forget what high school was like. For some the pressure is immense and that is how it was for Devon.Coming from a disruptive home with an abusive father and a mother with no backbone, and a school where he is made fun of, the future looks extremely bleak for him.  Then, after a bout of meningitis, he becomes a baseball prodigy and this turns things around for him  - but there are still problems with jealousy from other guys that threaten his happiness with violence. This is a great book for young adults, and adults will enjoy it as well.
