(1) 4-6 Nick is a wordsmith, thanks to his linguistics-professor father, but he would rather be shining on the soccer field. He's blindsided when his parents separate; things worsen at school, too, as he and best friend Coby are targeted by the racist Eggleston twins. With accessible forms and engaging formatting, this novel in verse offers sports action combined with spot-on portrayals of middle-school life.
