High Five For Glenn Burke
(Playaway)
Copies
Description
A heartfelt and relatable novel from Phil Bildner, weaving the real history of Los Angeles Dodger and Oakland Athletic Glenn Burke--the first professional baseball player to come out as gay--into the story of a middle-school kid learning to be himself. When sixth grader Silas Walker does a school presentation on former Major League Baseball player Glenn Burke, its more than just a report on the inventor of the high five. Burke was a black gay baseball player in the 1970s?and for Silas, the presentation is his own first baby step toward coming out as gay. Soon he tells his best friend Zoey, but the longer he keeps his secret from his baseball teammates, the more he suspects they know somethings up. Kids get pulled from the team, fingers point at Silas, and he stages one big cover-up with terrible consequences. Was it a mistake to share his truth? A High Five for Glenn Burke is Phil Bildners most personal novel yet, and drives home the message that theres no one way to come out?and theres a place in the field for everyone.
