Summary:
In an instant, Ossie Brown's entire future is in jeopardy when a torn ACL ends his promising basketball career. Now that basketball is no longer a major part of his identity, Ossi, a Black teen who doesn't come from wealth and privilege, must navigate his new place in the social and academic ecosystems of his affluent, predominantly white school. This novel confronts critical issues like racism and classism, the treatment of student athletes, homophobia, and book banning.
