Myers and teen author Workman create a story told in alternating voices between a boy in trouble and the police officer investigating his case. Workman narrates the whirl of emotions of a teenager protecting a friend, dealing with his father's death, and playing for a soccer championship. Myers successfully crafts the adult perspective of the officer digging deeper for the truth.
