Titan's Clash by Sigmund Brouwer (Contemporary Sports)
Titans Clash by Sigmund Brouwer
Jack loves to play basketball, and while he isn't the best, he is pretty good. He knows he has to work for everything, but he is willing to put in the time. He does wish that his dad would be a bit happier though, when he does do well. But for the last few weeks, he knows why his dad is more down than usual. Jack's mom was in a terrible car accident and she hasn't been able to leave the hospital.
But then something happens with Jack's dad, something that Jack can't even begin to believe and it feels like quickly basketball isn't as important in life as it once seemed. Jack isn't sure how to put his family back together, but he knows he has to try.
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
