To the Buzzer

Children & Youth

“Levi moves like a bobcat. And even though fouling out looms over him, he wins big because of Mike, the Seton Lions’ seven-foot sweetheart, who plays basketball like an art until a deadly dunk changes their lives forever. Brian Tucker’s To the Buzzer is a subtle yet impactful book of narrative poetry, celebrating youthful, diverse friendship. As an English teacher, I cannot wait to give Tucker’s gift of verse to my students.”
