For an Audience of One

About this book

Isaiah Wright never gets less than a hundred. Until the day he does.Isaiah is the kid everyone points to: straight A's, star point guard, the boy his dad says will "go further than I did." But behind the trophies and perfect scores, Isaiah is running on four hours of sleep. And he can't remember the last time he played basketball just for fun.Then comes an 82 on a math quiz, a bike ride home too fast, and a car that doesn't stop.In a place of soft white light, Isaiah meets Celeste, an angel who shows him the driveway where he used to play just for joy, and the old heartbreak that turned his father's cheering into pressure. Isaiah wakes up with a broken wrist, a second chance, and a new question: Who am I really playing for?Back on the court, a cold, clever whisper tells Isaiah to prove himself at any cost. And when he learns who was behind the wheel that day, it's someone much closer than he ever imagined. Now Isaiah faces the hardest choice of his life: hold on to his anger, or become the friend another hurting kid desperately needs.For an Audience of One is a heartfelt Christian chapter book about pressure, perfectionism, forgiveness, and the freedom of doing everything with your whole heart for God, not for the crowd. It is anchored in Colossians 3:23. Lexile Range610L - 800L
