change the game : a graphic novel

Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game is an inspiring high school graphic novel memoir for readers 12 and up from celebrated athlete and activist Colin Kaepernick.A high school senior at a crossroads in life and heavily scouted by colleges and Major League Baseball (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.Colin isn't excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star MLB player Adam Jones, "Baseball is a white man's sport." He looks up to athletes like Allen Iverson: talented, hyper-competitive, unapologetically Black, and dominating their sports while staying true to themselves.

This touching YA graphic novel memoir explores the story of how a young change-maker learned to find himself, make his own way, and never compromise
