"The best writer of sports books in America today" (The Boston Globe) tells a thrilling story of friendship, football, and a fight for justice.

Renowned sports journalist and New York Times-bestselling author John Feinstein's young adult novel Backfield Boys follows best friends and football stars Jason Roddin and Tom Jefferson, a perfect, though unconventional, pair: Jason, the Jewish kid, is lightning fast and a natural wide-receiver, while African-American Tom has an amazing arm and a quarterback's feel for the game. After summer football camp at an elite sports-focused boarding school, the boys are thrilled to enroll on scholarship for their freshman year--despite their mothers' fears of injury and especially CTE.

On day one, they're stunned when the coaches make Tom a receiver and Jason a quarterback, a complete contradiction to their skill sets and training. Suspecting deep-seated racial bias, the boys speak out, risking both their scholarships and their chance to play. Soon local newspaper reports begin a secret investigation, and as tensions rise Jason and Tom must decide how much they're willing to lose in their quest to expose the ugly remnants of a racist past that still linger in contemporary jock culture.

Praise for Backfield Boys:

An intriguing look at racism in contemporary sports and the power private schools have in shaping sports and upholding racist traditions. --Booklist

"A strong football hook will draw in most sports fans . . . The boys' driving quest for the truth will keep readers engaged." --School Library Journal

Over the years, John Feinstein has built a career covering many aspects of athletics as a sportswriter, author, and media commentator. He has also written several sports novels for young adult audiences. In his most recent novel, Feinstein tackles racism in a way that is both thought-provoking and timely. . . . The end product is a fast-paced, reflective, well-written book that simultaneously entertains and challenges its readers. --Children's Literature

ok as part of skin routine, but will take time to see if works
Size: 60ml
I was curious about this product because the idea of a natural product for reducing unwanted hair growth sounded appealing, but my experience was mixed at best. The oil itself feels decent on the skin and didn’t cause irritation for me, which is a plus, especially since it claims to be suitable for all skin types. That said, I did not see dramatic or fast hair-removal results, and it definitely does not work like waxing, shaving, or laser treatments. At most, it seemed like something that might help a little over time with consistent use, but the claims about reducing body hair growth felt stronger than the actual results. If you are buying this expecting a miracle product, you may be disappointed. It may be fine as part of a skincare routine, but I would keep expectations realistic.

Curious to see if it works
Size: 60ml
I’ve started a whole new shaving routine and decided to give this stuff a shot, with what I’ve used thus far I can say the smell is pleasant if you enjoy earthy and floral scents. It has a perfumey scent, but the oil itself left my skin glowing and soft. I’m anxious to continue use!

Great for my middle-aged skin
I found that with age my typically normal skin which gave me no issues when I was a teenager became prone to weird acne that would not want to go away, redness, and overall less vitality. I was using expensive Dermalogica creams for years and loved them, until my skin decided they were not good anymore. My skin just became so much more sensitive in my forties. This cream is so gentle on my skin and it doesn't irritate it. It's rich enough to moisturize but not too heavy to cause issues. The price is great too for the quality and volume. I'm glad I found it.

Best stuff ever
This line of face products is absolute magic. It’s made a huge difference, quickly, in skin tone evenness and texture, smoothing out the flakes from eczema patches and bumpies on my skin. I’ve had exponentially less eczema flare up since starting using this line.
