English Summary/英文概要: Kyle Saint-Claire is everything Jonny Fehey wishes to be: a star on and off the soccer field, a brain, and one of Millburn High’s most popular students. Jonny unhappily accepts his lesser social status--but then he scores the go-ahead goal in the county soccer championship and everything changes. Jonny is invited to victory party with the in crowd, and alcohol flows freely as toasts are raised in his honor. But in his moment of glory, a classmate is raped and Jonny’s world begins to unravel. Through years of friendship, Kyle and Jonny have always stood up for each another, but suddenly their friendship is tested. All their training together, pain, and dedication become meaningless; Jonny’s preconceived notions are shattered; and someone is out for revenge. Exciting sports action combines with an undercurrent of evil in a suspenseful tale of pride cometh before the fall--and an ending that Jonny never saw coming.

Awards/获奖情况:Jonny Fehey begins his senior year concerned that Kyle Saint-Claire has changed and their friendship is dissolving. Kyle, loaded with charisma, is one of New Jersey s top soccer talents, while Jonny s role is as a hardworking backup. Martino opens with a great hook: Jonny is hungover and disoriented, covered with vomit and unable to shake his conviction that something horrible happened at a party. Flashing back to the previous August, readers learn of Jonny s frustration at seeing his friend become a larger-than-life hero, his anger at bad-boy teammate Erik Maako and his interest in new girl Annalisa. Jonny triumphs in a championship match, but the subsequent nighttime drunken free-for-all results in stunning violence. The author includes a wealth of soccer action but stops the details short of overwhelming the story. Jonny s convincing narration reveals a sympathetic character with authentic teen issues he cannot control. ---Kirkus Reviews 当Jonny Fehey升高三后,他发觉Kyle Saint-Claire改变了并且他们的友谊正在瓦解。充满魅力的Kyle是新泽西州顶尖足球天才之一而Jonny只是一名辛劳的替补队员。作者Martino设下了一个巨大的悬念:在聚会,Jonny由于喝了太多酒而十分难受,东南西北全然不辨并且吐了满身,于此同时Jonny也无法摆脱他的想法,他觉得一些可怕的事正在聚会上发生。记忆回到过去的8月,读者看到了Jonny在面对他的朋友成为具有传奇色彩的英雄时的失落,还有他对坏男孩队友Erik Maako的愤怒以及他对新来女孩Annalisa的在意。Jonny在决赛中取得了胜利,但是随之而来的彻夜饮酒狂欢却造成了令人震惊的暴力行为。作者极其详细的描写了踢球的过程,对于人物Jonny的描写又显露了作者对于不可控的青少年问题的关心。——Kirkus 评语
