Review: A refreshing change
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book has two refreshing changes from the usual book in the genre (an upset teen who needs to transition). First, the protagonist is not the upset teen, but instead is a well adjusted high school hero. Second, religion is not treated as an evil enemy of the transitioning teen, but instead is shown as a support system. The characters are well drawn, even several relatively minor ones. The whole story is believable, and is well told. There is a nice transition between the wrestling (athletic) and the wrestling with ideas and changes. All in all, the book is easy to read and raises some interesting questions about teen behavior. I highly recommend reading it.
