(2) YA Eighth-grader Bobby's life gets complicated as he plays JV basketball, develops a crush, and, while investigating a dark secret involving his teacher, discovers a hidden world of violence, domestic abuse, and racial prejudice. Parker's first young adult novel is a suspenseful coming-of-age homage to a bygone era--equal parts Americana, Norman Rockwell, and Archie comics, with a little Hardy Boys thrown in.
