Book Summary:
Greg Dunsmore,
a.k.a. Dun the Ton, is focused on one thing: making a documentary that will
guarantee his admission into the film school of his choice. Every day, Greg
films his intense weight-loss focused workouts as well as the nonstop bullying
that comes from his classmates. But when he captures footage of violent, extreme
hazing by his high school’s championship-winning lacrosse team in the presence
of his principal, Greg’s field of view is in for a readjustment.
Greg knows
there is a story to be told, but it is not clear exactly what. And his attempts
to find out the truth only create more obstacles, not to mention physical harm
upon himself. Yet if Greg wants to make his exposé his ticket out of town rather
than a veritable death sentence, he will have to learn to play the game and find
a team to help him.
Combine the
underbelly of Friday Night
Lights with the
unflinching honesty of Walter Dean Myers, and you will find yourself with Eric
Devine’s novel of debatable truths, consequences, and
realities.
