When Silas Walker does a school presentation on former Major League
Baseball player Glenn Burke, it's more than a report on the
inventor of the high five. Burke was a black gay baseball player in
the '70s - and for Silas, the presentation is his own first baby
step toward coming out as gay. Soon he tells his best friend Zoey,
but the longer he keeps his secret from his baseball teammates, the
more he suspects that they know something's up. Kids get pulled
from the team, fingers point at Silas, and he stages one big
cover-up with terrible consequences. Was it a mistake to share his
truth? This is Phil Bildner's most personal novel yet, and weaves
the real history of Glenn Burke into a heartfelt and relatable
story of a kid learning just to be himself.
