Foul

by Patrick Hueller

Overview

Rhino is one of Bridgewater's best basketball players—except when it comes to making free throws. It's not a big deal, until he begins receiving strange threats. If Rhino can't make his shots at the free throw line, someone will start hurting the people around him. Everyone's a suspect: a college recruiter, Rhino's jealous best friend, and the father Rhino never knew—who recently escaped from prison.

Editorial Reviews

"In what might be the strongest entry yet in the Night Fall collection—short horror novels all set in the fictional town of Bridgewater—16-year-old Rhino is a seven-foot-tall basketball star with limitless potential. Except for one problem: he can't hit free throws. This deficiency could muck up his college chances, but that becomes the least of his worries when he finds in his locker some written free-throw advice—attached to a severed finger. Soon the threat is verbalized: 'If you don't start making your free throws, people are going to get hurt.' Suspects are everywhere, from his jealous teammate to his adopted parents to a college recruiter to his real father, a murderer who has just escaped from prison. With a strong grasp of sports action, Hoblin not only keep things speedy enough for reluctant readers but unbearably tense, too—rarely have potential game-winning free throws had such high stakes attached to them (or detached as the case may be)." —Booklist
