AN ALA FOR YOUNG ADULTS PICK - A relevant book about bullies, their victims, and a high school football team where winning is the only thing that matters. Sometimes there's a book so powerful and so ruthlessly brilliant that it makes you gasp and cheer. Leverage is that book.--Carrie Jones, New York Times bestselling author of Need Leverage proves that no matter how bleak our past is, our fate, in the end, is in our own hands.--Mohammed Naseehu Ali, author of The Prophet of Zongo Street About as dark and disturbing as YA literature gets.--School Library Journal
There's an extraordinary price for victory at Oregrove High. It is paid on--and off--the football field. And it claims its victims without mercy--including the most innocent bystanders. When a violent, steroid-infused, ever-escalating prank war has devastating consequences, an unlikely friendship between a talented but emotionally damaged fullback and a promising gymnast might hold the key to a school's salvation. Told in alternating voices and with unapologetic truth, Leverage illuminates the fierce loyalty, flawed justice, and hard-won optimism of two young athletes.
