About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the pressure of being the 'reliable one' while a sibling's struggle consumes the family's energy. It is a grounded look at a high school athlete who uses sports and humor to cope with a changing home life. Brook is a star pitcher whose older brother has dropped out of college and is spiraling, leaving Brook to navigate his own path through high-stakes games and peer pressure. This story offers a realistic mirror for teens aged 12 to 17 who are learning that loyalty to friends and family doesn't mean you have to lose yourself in their mistakes. It validates the frustration of having 'invisible' problems and provides a space to discuss accountability and the consequences of one's actions.
