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.
High school star athlete Colin Kaepernick is at a crossroads in life.
Heavily scouted by colleges and MLB as a baseball pitcher, he has a
bright future ahead of him as a highly touted prospect. Everyone from
his parents to his teachers and coaches are in agreement on his future.
Colin feels differently.
Colin isn't excited about baseball. In the words of five-time all-star
MLB player Adam Jones, "Baseball is a white man's game." Colin looks up
to athletes like Allen Iverson: 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 graphic novel explores the story of how a young
change-maker learned to find himself and never compromise. How the right
decision is very rarely the easy one, but taking the road less traveled
can make all the difference in the world.
