Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Ron is watcher, it seems. He watches his pick-up basketball team- five guys trying to fit together on the court. He watches Dawn on the dance floor, and that tiny star tattoo on her shoulder. He watches Darby run, her short legs all sweat and muscle. He watches his friends veer off- and up- into popularity. He watches his dad move in with his grandmother and make do. But he' s more than a watcher: He' s a hustler on the court, a free-thrower, a poet, a poker player, a rule breaker, a loving grandson, a runner, and a ruthless competitor in those eight laps around the track- the 3200 meter. In nine interwoven stories, award-winning author Rich Wallace brings a small-town high school to life through the sharp, spare voice- and the heart-pounding defeats and triumphs- of an athlete. Synopsis:- Rich Wallace's sports scenes are fast, furious, sweaty--and authentic - "There are only a few contemporary writers who can hit the mark with teenage boys, and Rich Wallace seems likely to join that group." --The Chicago Tribune - Wallace's previous novels have earned him starred reviews: an ALA Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults and two Boolist Top Ten Youth Sports Books. Table of ContentsNight game — Nailed — Amazing two-headed boy — I voted for Mary Ann — In letters that would soar a thousand feet high — What it all goes back to — Dawn — Thanksgiving — Losing is not an option.
