Sandy Varga, shortstop for the Spacemen, is in a bind. Every time his team plays a game on a weekday, he has to leave early.
He’s ashamed to tell his teammates the reason why; he’s afraid they’ll give him a hard time. But by not telling them, he risks
losing their friendship. It takes a bone-chilling experience with an older boy, Rod Temple, to open Sandy’s eyes to how true
friends should treat each other.
