Cooper has been hooking up with teammate Pesh in secret, and has to play along when Pesh dates a girl and even tolerate locker-room homophobic talk. When Pesh outs Cooper online, trying to better his own chances at playing pro, Cooper chooses self-esteem and honesty over sex. With a strong and relatable main character, this book is a realistic, positive look at teen relationships -- gay or straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistributed in the U.S by Lerner Publishing Group\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Coccia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1459415787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781459415782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e James Lorimer and Company Ltd., Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021 pg. 86","brand":"Paul Coccia","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44045519487231,"sku":"9781459415782","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15cf2e1d-90cb-457c-9b30-0418aa035533.jpg?v=1684979239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-player-paul-coccia-9781459415782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
