Boy 21 BSY580

US$13.95

Basketball has always been an escape for Finley. He lives in broken-down Bellmont, a town ruled by the Irish mob, drugs, violence, and racially charged rivalries. At home, his dad works nights, and Finley is left to take care of his disabled grandfather alone. He's always dreamed of getting out someday, but until he can, putting on that number 21 jersey makes everything seem okay.Russ has just moved to the neighborhood, and the life of this teen basketball phenom has been turned upside down by tragedy. Cut off from everyone he knows, he won't pick up a basketball, but answers only to the name Boy21--taken from his former jersey number. As their final year of high school brings these two boys together, a unique friendship may turn out to be the answer they both need.

我叫芬利,是个白人高中生。我住在黑人聚集区贝尔蒙特,在这里,所有人都叫我“白兔“。我的祖父很多年前失去了双腿,同时我失去了母亲。我们几乎不谈论这件事。我最喜欢的东西有两个,一个是我的女友艾琳,一个是篮球。我想要靠打篮球联赛,离开贝尔蒙特,最好永不回来。我是21号男孩,来自太空。我是个机器人,在地球上生活,只是为了研究人类的情感模式。很快,我的父母就会把我接回去。在地球上我选择的肤色是黑色,偶尔也会对地球人展示下我的特殊能力——那个时候,他们会说我是个天生的篮球巨星。我们在贝尔蒙特相遇了。命运开始发生不可思议的变化。21号男孩究竟是什么人?芬利的祖父和母亲到底遭遇了什么?艾琳为何神秘消失?梦想、爱情、黑帮、暗杀、秘密……改变命运的,是我们永远不曾放弃自己、放弃对方。
