The Crazy Horse Electric Game by Chris Crutcher

The Crazy Horse Electric GameWillie Weaver spent his whole life training for the big game, quality time in the backyard with his father, throwing pitch after pitch until he could throw the heat with his eyes closed. All those years of practice paid off during the big game against Crazy Horse Electric. But life can’t be measured by the past and the memories of that big game, especially when you can’t anticipate the future curve balls that might be thrown your way. A freak accident leaves Willie disabled and everyone, including himself, has trouble adjusting. For his parents, especially his father, this blow feels like losing another child (Willie’s baby sister, Missy, died of SIDS). After overhearing an explosive argument between them, Willie decides his only option is to leave Coho, MT and find a place for himself in California. Is there life after The Crazy Horse Electric Game? Willie is about to discover just that.
