Rent Night Golf

Synopsis

James loves sports, but he's too short for basketball and too small for football. Then he discovers golf. When he goes to the local golf course to learn more about the game, he finds out that only white players are admitted. He accepts a job as a caddy but fears he may never get the chance to play the game he loves. In this beautifully illustrated true-to-life story, another caddy tells James how to realize his dream: by playing at night. Set in the South of the late 1950s, this poignant story of an African American boy whose wish to play golf is hindered by racism is a Parents' Choice Gold Award winner and an IRA Notable Book for a Global Society. '... perseverance and pragmatism come through clearly and are nicely underscored by ... impressionistic pastel-and-colored-pencil illustrations, which tell the story simply.' — The New York Times Book Review
