Booked

by Kwame Alexander

Twelve-year-old Nick is passionate about football—but he can’t stand books. As he faces his parents’ break-up, deals with bullies, and tries to win over the girl he likes, Nick finds these challenges tougher than scoring the perfect goal. Through it all, his life—and that of his best friend—changes in ways they never expected.
