"Colin Kaepernick: Change the Game" is a high school graphic novel memoir that serves as a source of inspiration for readers aged 12 and above. It is authored by Colin Kaepernick, a renowned athlete and activist. The novel delves into the life of Colin Kaepernick, a highly promising high school athlete who finds himself at a crucial juncture. Despite garnering considerable attention from colleges and Major League Baseball as a baseball pitcher, Colin is faced with conflicting emotions about his future in the sport. While his parents, teachers, and coaches all see a bright path for him, Colin holds a different perspective. Dissatisfied with baseball, he echoes the sentiment expressed by five-time all-star MLB player Adam Jones, who regarded it as a game dominated by white individuals. Instead, Colin aspires to emulate athletes like Allen Iverson, who exude talent, unwavering competitiveness, unapologetic Blackness, and authenticity in their respective sports. College football holds more appeal to him than the prospects of enduring uncomfortable nights on hotel room floors in baseball's minor leagues. However, Colin faces a hurdle as he has yet to receive any offers to play football. This poignant graphic novel delves into the journey of a young trailblazer as he navigates the process of self-discovery and resolute decision-making. It underscores the notion that the right choice is seldom the easiest one, but embracing the less conventional path can make a world of difference."
