ONE GOOD PUNCH by Rich Wallace
In many people's lives there is a moment; a moment which changes the plans and dreams of an individual human being. Michael Kerrigan experiences such a moment in ONE GOOD PUNCH by Rich Wallace.
Michael Kerrigan, 18, is the captain of the track team with dreams of taking the team to the State Championship in his senior year of high school, then off to college and become a writer. He also works three evenings a week at the local paper as an editorial assistant writing obituaries for the paper.
One evening at work Mike receives a phone call from a friend. The friend has left drugs in Mike's locker at school. Mike tries to retrieve the drugs, but the high school is under a lock-down, while the police and school officials search all the lockers for illegal drugs.
With his life going out of control Mike must decide what to do; turn a possible drug dealer, his friend, in or face expulsion from school? Mike interacts with his parents, school officials, his friends and his work colleagues, as he chooses his fate. To describe those people important to him Mike writes their obituaries.
GREAT READ, GREAT ENDING.
I RECOMMEND THIS TITLE FOR GUYS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
