From Publishers Weekly:
Chris Crutcher has written nine critically acclaimed novels, an autobiography, and two collections of short stories.

He has won three lifetime achievement awards for the body of his work: the Margaret A. Edwards Award, the ALAN Award, and the NCTE National Intellectual Freedom Award. Chris Crutcher lives in Spokane, Washington.
In this first novel, a boy's senior year in high school goes awry when he's kicked off the football team for taking a stand against the coach, and his girlfriend is killed in a car accident. PW found this "a tightly plotted, compelling talecompassionate, funny and sensitive."
