7 Days at the Hot Corner ( 150 pages )

I think I've read every book Terry Trueman has written, once I was hooked by his writing in Stuck In Neutral. However, it has been several years since I've read one of his texts. This is a book about baseball and friendship and family. What happens when, in your senior year of high school, you find out that your best friend since 2nd grade is gay. You find this out at the end of the baseball season. You play third base which is known as the hot corner. Baseball is your life, your love, and your dream of becoming a pro. This is a very short read,but it is a terrifically important read. It is a book that will interest many, many students and be great for discussion. Wow! Way to go, Terry Trueman; you've hit a grand slam homer this time!
