Waiting on Wednesday - Swagger

WoW is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine, in which we share titles we are eagerly anticipating.

Swagger by Carl Deuker. 304 p. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, November 5, 2013. 9780547974590.

Publisher synopsis: Levi was simple, like a child. It was the best thing about him, and it was the worst, too.

When high school senior Jonas moves to Seattle, he is glad to meet Levi, a nice, soft-spoken guy and fellow basketball player. Suspense builds like a slow drumbeat as readers start to smell a rat in Ryan Hartwell, a charismatic basketball coach and sexual predator. When Levi reluctantly tells Jonas that Hartwell abused him, Jonas has to decide whether he should risk his future career to report the coach. Pitch-perfect basketball plays, well-developed characters, and fine storytelling make this heartbreaking psychological sports novel a slam dunk.

Thanks to Richie Partington for the heads up on this one. It popped up in my feeder on Sunday. Head over to Richie's Picks for the full review. 

I enjoy sports books and Deuker is one of my favorites because there's always a complex plot to go along with the sports action.

I can't wait for this one. What are you waiting on?
