The book was the result of more than eight years of investigative work. The book "reveals a cutthroat world where boys as young as eight or nine are subjected to a dizzying torrent of scrutiny and exploitation. At the book's heart are the personal stories of two compelling figures: Joe Keller, an ambitious coach with a master plan to find and promote 'the next LeBron,' and Demetrius Walker, a fatherless latchkey kid who falls under Keller's sway and struggles to live up to unrealistic expectations."〔 ;Awards :Associated Press Sports Editors, second place, enterprise reporting, 1995.〔 :Associated Press Sports Editors, second place, investigative reporting, 1996.〔 :Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting, 2000.〔 :Winner of the Award for Excellence in Coverage of Youth Sports, 2010.
