Mystery phenom Robert Paker has written a pitch-perfect book with his second young adult novel, The Boxer and the Spy, which combines mystery, sports, and a teenage romance.
When a classmate turns up dead, 15-year-old boxer-in-training Terry Novak doesn’t believe the story his high school principal is spinning about steroid use leading to suicide. Instead Terry and his girlfriend, Abby, decide to look into the matter themselves and Abby creates a teenage cell-phone spy network to track the movement of their suspects.
As Terry and Abby get closer to the truth, Terry finds that the advice his trainer, George, has been giving him applies to much more than just boxing.
The Boxer and the Spy is a wonderfully empowering coming of age story about what it means to be a man and how to stand up for what you believe in when threatened with harassment and intimidation.
