"A timely,
speculative thought experiment in perspective, privilege, and identity." —Kirkus"The conceit
behind Shusterman’s latest is truly unique. While it exhibits the author’s
usual storytelling aplomb, it also manages to delve into more serious and
timely subject matter, such as racism, sexism, and homophobia. Despite these
heavy topics, the story still moves at a lively pace and, thanks to a zany
sci-fi twist, manages to pack in a few laughs as well." —BooklistAll it takes is one hit on the football field, and
