When he is injured in a water skiing accident, his life changes dramatically. His family falls apart, and his girlfriend begins dating someone else. Willie leaves town and finds himself in Oakland, CA, where an alternative high school, a bus driver/pimp, a gym teacher, and a Chinese martial arts instructor all have profound influences on him. interesting book about a boy in a white suburban and/or rural town who is in an accident that transforms him from sports-type-popular guy to outcast perceived as a loser. He leaves his all American town and moves to the slums in CA--near SF and finds himself through his ability to survive and be happy where he is, in a diverse area. I love the concept that diversity breeds the betterment of the character, and of all kids. However, I don't know how realistic the sitch is. Would a school whose hero becomes physically challenged (non pc term is crippled, and is ostracized by the whole school. I don't think that would happen. It didn't in our town under similar circumstances. Still the book brings up excellent issues and is a page turner. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

He ends up quite by chance at OMLC High School. The letters stand for One More Last Chance, and are a place where people with mental and physical disabilities go to be helped and nurtured. There he starts to feel more and better, but what is waiting for him elsewhere? Willie is not the same person as he was at the time of the Crazy Horse Electric Game.
This one was kind of a dud book, and I knew it was going to be. It wasn’t bad by any means of the sense, but compared to the other Crutcher books, it fell flat. But like I said, it wasn’t bad at all.
