Fourteen-year old Aarash is nervous to start his freshman year at Freemont Central High School. Though his family has lived in the United States since he was eight years old, Aarash still feels like an outsider. Then an older friend suggests Aarash join the school's JV wrestling team. Aarash is nervous but tries out anyway and is excited to make the team. But a bully on the mat makes Aarash rethink everything. Can he see his commitment through? Or will taking it to the mat cost more than he's willing to sacrifice?
Blake A. Hoena grew up in central Wisconsin, where he wrote stories about robots conquering the moon and trolls lumbering around the woods behind his parents house. He now lives in Minnesota and continues to write about fun things like space aliens and superheroes. Blake has written more than fifty chapter books and graphic novels for children.
