Overview
Justin Martin is almost fifteen, and up until now his life has seemed woefully predictableābarely getting by in school, taking the bus home to do his chores around their small farm, bickering with his younger brother and sister. His mom has to work nonstop to make ends meet.
Then when Justin becomes the first freshman to make the high schoolās varsity baseball team, heās convinced his problems are all behind him. All he needs now is a little money for a bicycle to ride home from baseball practice. To earn the money for the bike, Justin sells Little Billy, one of the familyās beloved baby goats. But Justinās siblings find out that the new owner is horribly mistreating Little Billy. Then, when a red sports car appears in the Martinās driveway one afternoon, is it bringing emotional upheaval for the entire family, the tempting lure of adventure, or both?
Author Rosa Jordanās memorable, well-drawn characters are woven together into a web of complex relationships marked by the challenges of figuring out what is right and wrong and the confusion of divided loyalties. The result is a richly textured portrait of small town life and a struggling family that will intrigue and satisfy readers.
