Whale Talk | Chris Crutcher

1 post | 5 read | 8 to read

A varsity letter jacket: it's exclusive, nearly unattainable, revered . . . and everything that's screwed up about Cutter High, as far as T. J. Jones is concerned. That's why T. J. is determined to have the Cutter All Night Mermen—the unlikeliest swim team a high school has ever seen—earn letter jackets of their own. It won't be easy. For one thing, they don't even have a pool. They will fight for their dignity, they will fight with each other, and sometimes they will just fight. And then they will realize that a single moment can bring lifelong heartache or lifelong friendship. For T. J. and his crew of misfits, the quest may be far more valuable than the reward.

Today was a really slow day at work with the library closed for an awards assembly all afternoon. I picked this up after a conversation with another teacher about how much she loved teaching it, and I enjoyed it way more than I anticipated. Parts made me so nostalgic for my own high school swimming days, but it also had some dark moments that were difficult to read.
