Award-winning author of Hope Was Here delivers another heartwarming tale where a young pool prodigy overcomes challenges with the help of family, friends, and a pet pig.
“Micky’s authentic voice draws readers right into the story.”—Kirkus Reviews
Mickey has a dream—pool. After all, pool is in Mickey Vernon’s blood. His family owns the neighborhood pool hall, and his dad was a champion nine-ball player. That’s why Mickey knows that he will win the Junior Nine-Ball Championship. All he has to do is beat Buck Pender. The problem is, Mickey’s three years younger than Buck, who could eat him for a light snack.
Mickey knows he can’t do it alone. With ace player Joe Alvarez as his coach, and his best friend Arlen and his pet pig Mangler standing by him, can Mickey beat the odds?
