7 Days in the Hot Corner - Terry Trueman

They say in baseball, playing third base can be tricky- they call it the "Hot Corner". Scott lives for baseball...and after his senior year he has dreams of not even going to college, but being picked up on a farm team for the majors somewhere.

The book isn't really about that though- you see Scott comes is afraid that he might have AIDS. He just got tested and won't get the results back for seven days- the same seven days that his baseball team will be competing in the state tourney. In this fast, east read- Trueman (Stuck in Neutral, Inside Out) tells the story of anger, betrayal, fear and some interesting observations of the high school experience.

Got a free afternoon? Check it out!
