Harard by Frances O’Roark Dowell [Video]

Hazard is fantastic! Affiliate link to purchase the book: https://amzn.to/3xn4sQA Book description from the publisher: The case of a missing father is hard to crack . . . even for Felix, a tiny kid with a huge heart and an eye for detail. A kid filled with rage, kicked off the football team for unsportsmanlike conduct, and his father, newly home from the war in Afghanistan, reckon with the injuries theyve caused to others and themselves in this unflinching middle grade novel in verse about love and forgiveness. Everybody knows Hazard Stokes has mad football skills. A defensive back, hes never played dirty (no need for that when youre as good as he is) so its a shock when he makes a bad hit the first game of the season and gets thrown off the field. Now Coach wont let him back on the team until a therapist gives the thumbs up. At first, Haz denies theres a problem, but over time he starts to get it: When your dads at Walter Reed Medical Center getting fitted for a prosthetic limb to replace a leg lost in an IED blast (and wont let you come visit him while hes there), it might make you angry enough to hurt somebody. On top of that, Haz discovers his dads dealing with wounds that go deeper than the loss of a leg. What happens when a soldier makes a split-second decision that haunts him long after the battle is over? Through emails, texts, and family interviews, Haz slowly begins to understand how the body keeps score when bad things happen to people you love, and how the anger and confusion you feel can become the violence you commit. Both Hazard and his dad have to come to terms with the suffering theyve caused other peopleand themselves.
