Glenn Burke, Game Changer
Glenn Burke, Game Changer by Phil Bildner is a middle grade novel inspired by the real-life Major League Baseball player Glenn Burke, told through the story of a boy navigating baseball, friendship, and questions about his sexuality. The book tackles homophobia, team dynamics, and courage in a way that’s accessible to upper elementary and middle school readers who love sports. Parents and educators value its blend of heart, humor, and honest conversations about identity. Priced like a standard novel and often available at libraries, it’s a strong choice for book clubs and ELA units on character and fairness.
