Description

Eighth-grader Micah is psyched to have made the junior goalball team—even though he gets the news while in the hospital, dealing with a flare-up of his degenerative eye condition. What he’s not happy about is his parents’ decision to get him a guide dog, and the possibility of losing his independence. When Liam, a first-rate player, joins the goalball team, Micah’s frustration with his vision spills onto the court. It’s only with the help of Cam, his orientation and mobility specialist, that Micah starts to get a handle on his aggression. But with the team’s big junior tournament quickly approaching, Micah has to become a real team player—both on and off the court—and help his team win the championship. - from Amzon
