DADDY BALL

TRUST ME, you won’t put this down!

Talent will get you in the game. Obsession might just take you out.

When freshman phenom Tyson Rigs steps into the gym at Rendham High, all eyes lock on him. He’s fast. He’s flashy. He’s the real deal and he just stole the starting spot on varsity.

But there’s more to this story than hardwood highlights.

Tyson’s dad isn’t just any fan in the stands, he’s the newly appointed JV coach. He’s intense, unpredictable, and determined to control his son’s rise, even if it means tearing down the entire program to do it.

As Tyson struggles to balance locker room respect, school friendships and the suffocating weight of his father’s ambitions, strange things begin to unfold. Rumors swirl. Messages surface. And the shadow of a past left behind begins to creep back into the gym.

From buzzer-beating plays to late-night threats, Daddy Ball is a pulse-pounding coming-of-age thriller where one teen must decide who he’s really playing for and what he’s willing to risk to be free.

Perfect for readers who love sports, suspense, and a plot full of twists you’ll never see coming.

Red-pen critics stay home! The design of this book is not for the already-scholarly reader, the ones who feast on long well-written paragraphs and mountains of text. They understand the magic! This book is for the kid who has never reached a final chapter alone. It is gasoline and every chapter is a match. Strike it. Feel it ignite. The possibilities are lit!
