As Sam begins to fall for her anonymous suitor, Noah has a decision to make: continue his life in the dugout or follow Walt’s lead and take a swing to make his voice heard.Īt the same time, numerous American flags are being left around town. An experiment that becomes public when one of the letters unknowingly reaches Sam herself. Each page contains words Noah has also held in his heart, and he begins an experiment of artistically adapting the letters to help express his true feelings for Sam. Noah is willing to go along with Walt’s plan, but while Walt is hitting the batting cages and insisting on being called Swing, Noah uncovers a set of old love letters. Not to mention Walt’s plan for improving their love lives involves taking advice from his Dairy Queen-employed cousin and listening to a podcast intended for women. He and Walt failed to make the high school baseball team for the third year in a row, and Noah’s love interest since third grade, Sam, has him firmly in the friend zone. While Walt thinks the road to cool will be as smooth as the jazz he loves, for Noah, navigating that path seems almost impossible. Best friends Walt and Noah decide to use their voices to grow more good in the world, but first they’ve got to find their cool. When America is not so beautiful, or right, or just, it can be hard to know what to do. Swing by Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess
