Things are confusing for Thom Wilcox and they are not getting any simpler.
Thom has lived next door to his best friend, A.J. Lopez, all his life. Ever since they were put in the same playpen as babies, they've spent all their time together as geeks - watching Star Wars and Star Trek, reading Lord of the Rings and playing video games.
But when A.J. becomes obsessed with Major League bad-boy baseball star Jayson Spike Tuttman, things get decidedly weird. With baseball now their major obsession, A.J. declares that his greatest desire is to meet up with his new hero.
As Thom does everything he can to make that happen, he discovers a great desire of his own - he's in love with his best friend and has to find a way to tell him.
A richly comic and heart-felt coming of age story, told by 17-year-old Thom, SPIKED! tells of his sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant, adventures of discovery.
