Synopsis
If you don't have a slot, what are we going to do with you? They call it Twenty-One Nights with the Knights. But for Elvin Bishop - fourteen, overweight, and a self- proclaimed non-athlete - the summer retreat is more like the twenty-one trials of hell. As everyone around him slips smoothly into a slot in his chosen sport, Elvin is pounded on the football field, slammed on the baseball diamond, and tortured on the wrestling mat. And he still can't find a slot.. From the acclaimed author of Shadow Boxer, here is a raw, darkly funny story about growing up and finding a place in the world. A Best Book for Young Adults.
