ABOUT THIS BOOK

You think I’m just another muscle-bound, sex-crazed, fuzzy-brained, futureless JOCK.

But You’re Wrong.

I dream big. I love hard. I think far. I act fast. I live humbly. I want to win.

And, yeah, I’m a jock.

My Vision. My Quest. My Life.

The cult classic coming-of-age novel is back.


REVIEWS

“Move over, Rocky. Here’s Louden–in a sunny and deft novel for lovers of wrestling, wit, and hang-loose talent.”–Kirkus Reviews

“The novel is most memorable for clearly evoking, much as Judy Blume does, a certain stage of growing up.”–Publishers Weekly
