Today's recommendation is . . .



REBOUND is the story of Ray Wisniewski, a Polish guy at Franklin High whose dream is to make the Varsity basketball team. The only problem is, at Ray's school, white kids wrestle and black kids play ball. So when Ray finally makes the team, his predominately white friends don't understand why he's shunning them, and his predominately black teammates don't want him around. Gradually, Ray makes some friends on the team, but solidifies some enemies as well. This book is an unflinchingly honest look at what it's like to navigate racial divides in high school, but it's not all serious all the time. There's a sweet love story involved as well. Plus plenty of fantastic b-ball action!

Enjoy! And don't forget to post your recommendations below!
