Volponi veers from sports themes to the card table in this short, tense, issue-driven novel about a seventeen-year-old's determination to avenge a slight against his father and humiliate a man who has been humiliating his students for years. The varied characters are unique and add to the book's interest quotient. The writing is terse in this absorbing book that is a fine choice for boys, girls, and reluctant readers.
