Reach for this book when your child is facing a heavy secret or struggling with the tension between protecting a loved one and doing what is right. It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who loves sports but is ready for a narrative with more emotional depth and moral complexity than a standard play-by-play story. The story follows Dana Bellamy, a young soccer player who discovers that the fire his father is being blamed for might actually be the fault of someone else entirely. As Dana uncovers the truth, he is forced to navigate the messy reality of adult reputations, legal consequences, and family loyalty. It is a grounded, realistic look at integrity that helps children understand that honesty is often difficult but necessary for true peace of mind.
