Before the ever after  Cover Image Book Book

Before the ever after / Jacqueline Woodson.

Summary:

For as long as ZJ can remember, his dad's been everyone's hero. A popular pro football star, he's as beloved to the neighborhood kids as he is to millions of sports fans. But lately his dad's forgetting stuff and has turned moody. The doctors think it might be because he's had so many concussions, but they're not sure how to help. That stings - and so does the day his dad embarrasses him in front of his friends. ZJ's scared and has lots of questions. Will his friends stop coming over? Will his father get better? And are their glory days gone forever? For now, though, ZJ's just doing his best to get by - taking comfort in his music and the friends who do have his back. Somehow, whatever's coming next doesn't seem half as scary with them cheering him on.
