This week's book pick is Bullet Point by Peter Abrahams.

Wyatt never thought much beyond playing baseball and how it would likely be his ticket out of East Canton, a town that is rapidly going nowhere. Then baseball gets slashed from the school budget, and Wyatt finds himself without a whole lot of options. He follows his best friend Dub to Silver City with the hope of getting on their baseball team next year, but is soon distracted from the promise of being able to play again. Silver City is the town where the prison that Wyatt's dad is incarcerated for life is located, and before long, Wyatt decides to meet him for the first time in his life. Is it fate, or perhaps simply a sequence of wrong turns?
