Love a little, die a little, and break the law. Trey Milligan did them all in one summer, and before his 14th birthday. Sponsor Frank Murtaugh's debut novel, Trey's Company, was just released this month, and we've got a sneak peek to share with our readers — the intro and whole first chapter – perfect timing for your summer reading list. Baseball and coming of age are a common pairing; with his background in sports writing and intimate knowledge of the story's locale, Murtaugh brings something special to the mix.
