TIM THARP lives in Oklahoma, where he teaches at Rose State College. Knights of the Hill Country was his first novel for young adults; he is also the author of The Spectacular Now (a National Book Award finalist), Badd, and Mojo.
“JEALOUSY, RAGE, AND tenderness are wrapped around the story’s core
theme of self-discovery. . . . This intriguing work demands an
audience.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred
“The teen’s voice comes in loud and clear, revealing a sensitive,
likeable character. . . . Readers will root as much for his team as
for Hampton to be true to himself. The dynamic football scenes will
draw readers who enjoyed H. G. Bissinger’s Friday Night
Lights.”—School Library Journal
