What happens to the boy from the wrong side of the tracks after he grows up and heads off to war? How much does the effort of one kind adult mean in the lives of young people? How do friends from rival towns cope when they are the stars of their teams and their dads are out of control? From the group of 11-12 year old baseball players who are made up of a collection of kids who are cut from the other teams in their home town (complete with a right fielder in cowboy boots) to a sophomore basketball player who receives his baptism by fire against an All State opponent, Growing Up is full of entertaining stories that will bring back memories, cause a smile and make you think.
