Title: Novel it's not
Product review: The book is not a novel. It's non-fiction. Originally written as an article that was (I believe) published in PSYCHOLOGY TODAY magazine. So if the ending depresses you... such is reality. It was made into a TV film (not great, but using real handicapped kids.) He is also the author of B-Ball: THe Team THat Never Lost A Game (about a Special Olympics team he coached) and wrote the story "The Wave" which was rewritten for TV and then "novelized" by Todd Strasser. The movie & books are not easy to find. I have taught this book to 7th graders for about 6 years and have always found it to be a worthwhile choice.
