More than two dozen narrators contribute their perspectives to this moving high school baseball story. After talented center fielder Luke "Wizard" Wallace is put in a coma by a star pitcher's wild throw, Luke's friends, family, teammates, and opponents weigh in on the event. Moments of genuine tension anchor Fehler's insights into sports, competition, and ambition in this deftly handled free-verse novel.
