Bag om Home Run
A PUBLISHER'S APPRENTICE BOOK "No doubt about it, your boy will be drafted before Jess gets her second facelift," remarked the impeccably groomed Hank from the stadium. But his eyes were already glued to the next batter taking up position. Will the boy, a baseball prodigy, get drafted by his beloved New York Yankees? And who is the next batter taking up position? See how the fortunes of two life-long school friends weave their way through the streets of Melbourne, a church in Cairo and the ghettos of New York, ending in a mix of jubilation and unspeakable tragedy. "Home Run" is ground-breaking teenage fiction. It is a finely crafted story combining the ambitions of teenagers with their spiritual search for meaning. "This book will drive teachers mad. Teenagers will hide it under the desk for a sneaky read in maths because it's a compelling story." Tess Livingstone, author and editor of 12 books. "Well-written and inspiring ..." Zac MacMahon, aged 16. "Such a well written book addressing so many relevant themes." James Duckett. "... a compelling story ... an exceptional book ... A perfect 10 out of 10." Adrian Kotevski. David Lawrence is a freelance Melbourne writer. He has worked in various capacities for a range of large and small organisations, in Australia and overseas, and is currently employed as an educator. Home Run is his first venture into teenage Christian fiction and his second published novel.
