When ten-year-old Orville Hope leaves his sunny Jamaican hometown of Sweeney Top for the chilly streets of New York, everything feels strange-his accent, his clothes, even the games kids play at school. Laughed at and called names, Hope just wants to belong.
But one afternoon during recess, a kickball gets stuck in a tall tree, and Hope's island-honed climbing skills turn him from outsider to hero.
Filled with warmth, humor, and heart, The Boy Who Saved Recess is a true story of courage, belonging, and the power of being proud of where you come from. Perfect for children who love inspiring, multicultural tales of friendship and bravery.
