(2) YA As sports editor of his high-school paper, Mitch unearths multiple wrongdoings; unwittingly, he puts one football player's life--as well as his own--in danger. The protagonist's transformation from mild-mannered reporter to lone avenger plays out during a nail-biter of a football season. But it's Mitch's ethical dilemma, concerning not what can be reported but what should be, that gives the novel heft.
