Sonnys been an outsider all his life. He has never fit into either world: the Moscondagas on the Reservation see him as white; whites see him as Indian. So far, Sonnys managed to harness his anger -- what he calls the monster -- in the boxing ring. But Sonny wants out of the Res. Hes headed for New York City, where nobody can tell him what to do. Sonny doesnt count on stepping into the middle of a drug war when he gets there -- or on tangling with a tough Harlem boxer-turned-cop named Alfred Brooks. Brooks seems to think that Sonnys got the talent to make it to the top -- to be a contender. But first Sonnys got to learn to be smart, take control of his life, and beat the monster. Only it isnt as easy as it sounds.... From Publishers Weekly In PW s words, Fans of The Contender will not be disappointed by its sequel. Lipsytes writing is as crisp as ever; his vision of New Yorks seamy underside is chillingly evoked, and the novels boxing scenes are nearly palpable. Ages 12-up.
