Walter Dean Myers has always written about teens, and now for the first time ever he has teamed up with a teen writer, Ross Workman, for this collaboration about a teen star soccer player and the cop assigned as his mentor.
Kevin Johnson is thirteen years old. And heading for juvie. He's a good kid, a great friend, and a star striker for his Highland, New Jersey, soccer team. His team is competing for the State Cup, and he wants to prove he has more than just star-player potential. Kevin's never been in any serious trouble . . . until the night he ends up in jail. Enter Sergeant Brown, a cop assigned to be Kevin's mentor. If Kevin and Brown can learn to trust each other, they might be able to turn things around before it's too late.
This ebook also includes a teaser to Walter Dean Myers’s new book, All the Right Stuff, about one teen whose crash course in street philosophy will change his outlook on life.
