(3) YA When Shane's father is arrested for money laundering and commits suicide, Shane's distress is obvious. As his world collapses, the high school sophomore struggles with school, family, friends, and his inability to focus on the mound. Deuker effectively uses baseball as a metaphor in this engaging novel about teams, families, and individuals who thrive despite the odds.
