Description:
|
When high school American football stars MJ, Vikram and Diego are on the turf, they are striving for the possibility of stellar college careers, never free from the weight of their parents’ expectations. Following an after-game party where the school bully is assaulted, the trio are suspended from school while the matter is investigated. As the parents step up to defend their beautiful boys, it is their lives too that are under the microscope. Thought-provoking and insightful, this is an engaging Californian story examining race, privilege and raising young men in a complex, competitive world.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"I recommend the author for his storytelling. The book was an interesting view of a certain class of people bringing up teenage boys".
"The exploration of violence that is (possibly) within us all is cleverly handled, with the ending exposing an unexpected truth".
"This is an interesting book about boys, about bullying, and about racism".
"I really enjoyed this book for so many reasons. Easy style with a gripping plot but there is much more to the book than that".
"This should definitely be included in the Scheme, as apart from being a very well-written book, there is plenty to discuss".
"The writer has a profound insight into family relationships. The characters are well developed and the story moves along at a good pace".
