UNSTOPPABLE

Author and narrator Tim Green gives a compelling performance in this moving story about 13-year-old Harrison. Green effectively contrasts the terse, loud voices of Harrison’s abusive foster parents with the gentle tenderness of his new family. Harrison’s stint as a star football player for his junior high school team is cut short when a routine knee injury leads to shocking news—and the biggest obstacle of his young life. Green deftly transitions his tone of voice as Harrison moves slowly from grief and anger to optimism. Inspired by his wife’s battle with cancer, Green’s story and reading are genuine and persuasive.
