Pedro dreams of playing goalie in the next big football match. But
he worries he's too slow and too small. Will Pedro meet his big
goal? Reader-support tools, such as a glossary and discussion
questions, make this a great choice for early readers.
A bag of chips. That's all sixteen-year-old Rashad is looking for. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad's pleadings that he's stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad's every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered. But how can you stay still when someone is pounding your face into the pavement?
There were witnesses: Quinn - a varsity basketball player and Rashad's classmate who has been raised by Paul since his own father died in Afghanistan - and a video camera. Soon the beating is all over the news and Paul is getting threatened with accusations of prejudice and racial brutality. Quinn refuses to believe that the man who has basically been his saviour could possibly be guilty. But then Rashad is absent. And absent again. And again. And the basketball team - half of whom are Rashad's best friends - start to take sides. As does the school. And the town. Simmering tensions threaten to explode as Rashad and Quinn are forced to face decisions and consequences they had never considered before.
Will Pastora is entering his first snowboard race at the ski resort
where he's on holiday. Instead of signing up as a beginner -- where
he belongs -- he lies about his experience and registers for a
higher level of competition. But when he faces his first
black-diamond mountain, Will learns that the high level isn't just
about tougher competition. It's about dangerous terrain too. Will
the racing newbie admit to his lie before he gets hurt?
