Meet Lamar Washington " a thirteen-year-old, asthmatic, bowling mastermind. His idol? None other than Bubba Sanders bowling champion. This summer, he wants nothing more than to bowl every day, meet Bubba at the fourth of July celebration held at Strikers bowling alley and hopefully get a girlfriend. Living in the shadows of his brother, Xavier the basketball Savior, plus his never-ending pranks at school make getting a girlfriend harder than he thought. When he befriends the unlikeliest of boys from school, Lamar gets caught up in a scheme that ultimately damages his relationship with everyone, including the town. Could he ever repair the damage that he caused? Will anyone forgive him? Rebuilding what was lost won't be easy. But it is definitely worth working towards.
