This is a great book, exploring difficult topics and choices in a way that doesn't seem like an after school special. Readers will be thrilled by all the play by play action. I found myself glued to the page even though I'm not a sports fan.
Appropriateness: Jonas is a good kid who does the right thing and works hard even when it's difficult. There is talk of sexual abuse by a teacher as well as the teacher supplying kids with alcohol. I recommend this book to readers 12+
