Publisher's Note When T.J. and his friend Tyron arrive at basketball camp, T.J. quickly realizes how easy it is for college coaches and street agents to exploit kids who are vulnerable and impressionable. When he meets a pregnant teenager at a neighboring Bible camp, T.J. learns that the best way to help others may be to teach them to think for themselves.
Industry Reviews "T.J. is a complex, thinking character who changes as a result of events that occur in the course of the novel....Bennett's plot evolves gently, never condescending to characters or reader, and never taking the easy way out." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro
