Pete Hall s the author of 10 books on education and leadership, and has recently published his Young Adult novel, Chasing The Show.
Chasing The Show follows the ups and downs of 18-year-old Anthony Sumner’s quest of becoming a professional athlete.
For young adult readers, it’s relatable. The dream, the relationships, the successes, the failures…all part of the messy reality of growing up. The fun, the awkwardness, the uncertainty…it’s all there.
For grown-up readers, the author brings his educational background to use by weaving in discussions and interactions with educators, coaches, parents, and Anthony’s peers to help him navigate his path, to embrace a Plan B, and to better understand himself.
As an added bonus, Chasing the Show comes with a link to free online discussion guides – one for young adult readers, one for not-so-young adult readers – to facilitate the communication, dialogue, and reflection needed to take the many lessons life teaches us and put them to use.
No matter what your entry point is, this story is sure to leave you entertained and equip you for the journey ahead.
