Details

Alby is in serious trouble. He got in over his head in a poker game, and he owes a loanshark money he doesn't have. There might be a way out, though: the upcoming "Man o' Might" boxing competition, which has a cash prize for the winner. Not that Alby will be doing the fighting-he wants to manage his best friend Barry, who's never boxed in a ring but can punch hard enough to make anyone see stars. All Alby has to do now is convince him. Library edition with trade jacket added.

Barry was training to be a boxer until his father’s recent death. One punch from him and you see “the whole sky full of stars.” Alby suggests that Barry enter the Man o’Might boxing tournament, playing on Barry’s desire to make some money and help his mother. Barry knows that his father would not have approved of such a competition, but Alby knows which buttons to push. What Barry doesn’t know is how little prize money there is, or that Alby plans to make his score by betting on Barry. Topics Boxing. Friends. Family. Gambling. Money. Debt. Morality. Death. Grief.
