Bookroo's summary

Levi longs to escape his overprotective family's view of him as fragile. Once a sickly child, now healthy, he's still seen as the class clown. Discovering boxing ignites his passion and offers a path to redefine himself. But with a new school and a promising boxing team on the horizon, Levi faces a dilemma: how to reveal his secret to his mom and convince his family to let him pursue his dream. Can Levi fight for his independence and transform into the person he wants to be?

From the publisher

Levi just wants to be treated like a typical kid. As a baby, he had a serious disease that caused him respiratory issues. He’s fine now, but his mom and overprotective brother still think of him as damaged, and his schoolmates see him as the same class clown he’s always been. He feels stuck. So when his dad—divorced from his mom—suggests he take up boxing, he falls in love with the sport. And when he finds out about a school with a killer boxing team and a free-study curriculum, it feels like he’s found a ticket to a new Levi. But how can he tell his mom about boxing? And how can he convince his family to set him free?
