Drop Hot

Mason Reyes is one of the best Fortnite players you've never heard of. He's also the broke kid at the rich school, the one whose voice cracks at the worst possible moment, the one who totaled his only car on a patch of black ice and has been quietly trying to make it up to his family ever since. Online, none of that follows him. Online he's Wraith — the closer, the guy still building when everything's on fire. And his squad, four kids in four bedrooms across four time zones who live on the same Discord server, just qualified for a $40,000 tournament in Texas. Ten thousand dollars each. For Mason, that's not a flex. That's a car for his dad. That's the look on his mom's face. That's rent. But to win it, he'll have to survive a main-stage LAN, a best friend who communicates exclusively in shoulder-punches, a girl named Lena who somehow sees right past everything he's ashamed of — and the part of himself that always seizes up the second it matters most. Drop Hot is a fast, funny, big-hearted coming-of-age story about competitive gaming, first love, working-class pride, and the found family you'd run through a wall for. Perfect for fans of underdog sports stories and readers who think they don't like to read — until they find a book that finally speaks their language. For the guy next to you. Drop hot.
