Reach for this book when your teenager begins to question the fallibility of their parents or when your family is navigating a major secret that impacts your child's sense of security. Set against the backdrop of Alaskan Little League baseball, the story follows fifteen-year-old Luke as he discovers his mother is an FBI fugitive for a political protest gone wrong decades ago. It masterfully explores themes of honesty, historical context, and the messy intersection of personal love and legal justice. This is a realistic, grounded choice for helping teens process the idea that parents are complex humans with pasts that might not align with their present values.
