The Crazy Horse Electric Game is realistic fiction at its best. Although the reader anticipates "happily ever after" as Willie comes to terms with, and rises above, his sports-related handicap, this would have been too easy and somewhat disappointing. Instead, the reader realizes that bad things happen to good people; that expectations are, as often as no,t left unfulfilled; and that regardless of what happens we must deal with it.
This books deals with many difficult topics: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; abuse; gangs; runaways; teenage prostitution, etc...
