One good Punch

By: Rich Wallace
CORE Rating: 4.4 (Out of 5)

The protagonist is a 17 year old named Mike. He is accused of having marijuana in his locker. Mike's only a few weeks away from graduation and he's a star on the track team. He's also starting to become romantically involved with one of his best friends- the rising action in this book is great! I really liked the way that Wallace incorporated Scranton, PA, and Gerry McNamara into the story.
