Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game<\/em> is an inspiring high school graphic novel<\/a> memoir for readers 12 and up from celebrated athlete and activist Colin Kaepernick<\/a>. A high school senior at a crossroads in life and heavily scouted by colleges and Major League Baseball<\/a> (MLB), Colin has a bright future ahead of him as a highly touted prospect. Everyone, from his parents to his teachers and coaches, is in agreement on his future. Everyone but him.<\/p>\n

Colin isn\u2019t excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star MLB player Adam Jones, \u201cBaseball is a white man\u2019s sport.\u201d He looks up to athletes like Allen Iverson<\/a>: talented, hyper-competitive, unapologetically Black, and dominating their sports while staying true to themselves. College football looks a lot more fun than sleeping on hotel room floors in the minor leagues of baseball. But Colin doesn’t have a single offer to play football. Yet. This touching YA<\/a> graphic novel memoir explores the story of how a young change-maker learned to find himself, make his own way, and never compromise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
