About Conviction by Kelly Loy Gilbert
Braden has built his life around baseball and his belief in the sign he received as a child. But his family has not stayed whole: his older brother, Trey, has been estranged from them for years, and now his father—a well-known Christian radio host—has been accused of murder. Braden is the key witness in the trial.
As the case draws national attention, Braden must reckon with family loyalty, faith, and what it means to tell the truth. Baseball, once his refuge, becomes harder to separate from the conflict: he is a star pitcher with scouts watching, and facing Alex Reyes, whose uncle is the police officer his father is accused of killing, unsettles every pitch.
This young adult debut will suit readers interested in family drama, religious faith, baseball, and the pressure of a courtroom decision. It won the Children's Choice Book Awards' Teen Choice Debut Author Award.
