Cracking the Bell by Geoff Herbach

4.0

Isaiah Sadler knows things aren't right. They haven't been since Hannah died. They haven't been since his bell got rung.

This book does a great jump delving into the topic of concussions in football, particularly at the high-school level, and just how impactful the game of football can be to a young man.

There's a lot to unpack with family dynamics in this book, and how tragedy can alter more than just our emotions.

I'd say Cracking the Bell should be a book a lot of high school athletes read, especially boys, as it touches on the reality that life doesn't work the way we want it to, and we have to react to that reality in a healthy way.
