Blake -- L. B. Tillit, Paperback

Blake has a secret-- a secret his mother has asked him not to share. If Blake can act normal, then no one will treat him differently. But Blake can't shake the way others view him after the racist comments he made months earlier. To make things worse, fallout from a terrible attack on a student in his school turns his world upside down. Suddenly alone, Blake has only one hope left: wrestling. Can he win back his friends?

As Blake faces his fears, he must also find a way to face his best friend who is suddenly his worst enemy.
