Knights of the Hill Country by Tim Tharp

He makes genius simple and writes about the most real of characters, characters that are just people, his dialogues show sharpness and wit. He is one of the best novelists I know of his books are some of my favorites. Spume from the Sea.Īnyway, those who haven’t discovered Tim Tharp yet, I strongly urge them to do so, get to know him better, and more. But the following year, August of 2015, was all about her, even if it wasn't. Sadly, Aurora wasn't there yet, she wasn't a part of that greenness. With the rain, words, new music, mermaids, Chiara Bautista, and a girl whose name still is Moon. Now honestly tell me, what would this August be without a Tharp novel? Even if this is not that August? I really had a good time with one of his books back in Aug of 2014. This unforgettable novel is the story of a boy whose choices will decide the kind of man he becomes, and raises powerful questions about sportsmanship, loyalty, and the deceptiveness of legends. And meanwhile, his best friend and teammate Blaine-the true friend who first introduced Hampton to football back when he had nothing else-is becoming uncomfortably competitive, and he's demanding Hampton's loyalty even as Hampton thinks he's going too far. He's drawn to a smart, quirky girl at school-the type a star athlete just isn't supposed to associate with. His father walked out on him and his mom years ago, and now his mom has a new boyfriend every week. But his life off the field is a different story.

On the field, he's so in control you'd think he was able to stop time. This year, the Kennisaw Knights are going for their fifth straight undefeated season, and if they succeed, they'll be more than the best high school team in the eastern Oklahoma hill country-they'll be legends.īut the Knights' legacy is a heavy weight to carry for Hampton, linebacker and star of the team. Welcome to Kennisaw-where Friday night high school football ranks right up there with God and country, and sometimes even comes in first.
