Cassius 'Cash' Hickman had just turned thirteen when his dad left. Dad was a washed-up boxer with faded dreams and a chip on his shoulder.
One thing he learned from Dad was how to defend himself. "Bring the Thunder" was Dad's motto, and Cash tried to live by that motto every day. But viewing life at the end of a jab is bad advice. It can never fix a broken heart.
When some bullies steal his lucky coin-a birthday present from Dad, and a coin he believed carried good luck magic-Cash is determined to get it back.
With some new friends by his side and a plan to recover the coin, Cash is forced to face his inner demons when that scheme goes wrong.
If you, or your children, enjoy Jason Reynolds (As Brave as You), Carl Hiaasen (Hoot), or Louis Sachar (Holes), you'll love Rabbit Punch!
