A book about friendship, prejudice, desegregation, adolescent males, and the complexities and tension of racial integration in the 1965 world of high school football. So much more than a football book. In the 1970’s, prejudice in the south was still a very real thing. Desegregation had to be enforced and not all places or people took to it well. The town where Rodney and Angie, twins, befriend Tater/Tatum as he breaks thorough social barriers, has just as hard a time as many places. Rodney tells the story through sports, baseball and football, of his friendship with Tater, and of Tater’s friendship with Angie. Rodney has to do a lot of thinking, questioning, and growing throughout this book. I’ll shelve it as a sports book--there are lots of game play descriptions that I didn’t understand, but it has a great message also, and could be shelved as realistic fiction. This is one of my favorite sports books, ever. Football, friendship, love, hate, prejudice and the world of the Deep South in the 60′s to early 70′s are introduced to readers through the lives of Tater Henry and Rodney Boulet.
