  • "Preferring to be cut from the team rather than break his own rules, which include closing himself off rather than letting down his guard, Bullet Tillerman learns from his friend Patrice that running well does not mean running away. A Speeding Bullet, Bullet Tillerman runs. He runs to escape the criticism of his harsh, unforgiving father. He runs to numb the pain of his mother's inability to express her love. He is the star of the school track team, but he isn't a team man and doesn't want to be. Bullet runs for himself. Bullet is unlikely choice to be asked to coach a new, African-American team member. But in coaching Tamer Shipp, Bullet learns some things about himself, who he is, and who he can perhaps become."@en
  • "Bullet Tillerman zou zonder zijn sport niet kunnen leven: als hij alleen loopt in het veld glijden de kilometers onder zijn voeten door en kan hij afstand nemen van de problemen waarmee hij wordt geconfronteerd."
  • "As a dedicated runner, a teenage boy has always managed to distance himself from other people until the experience of coaching one of his teammates on the track team gradually helps him see the value of giving and receiving. Suggested level: intermediate, secondary."@en
  • "You can run from something, or toward something--but can you do both at the same time? Book four in the Newbery-winning cycle from Cynthia Voigt. Bullet Tillerman runs. He runs to escape the criticism of his harsh, unforgiving father. He runs to numb the pain of his mother's inability to express her love. He is the star of the school track team, but he isn't a team man and doesn't want to be. Bullet runs for himself. So Bullet doesn't understand why he's been asked to train a new team member, and he's not looking forward to the task. But in coaching Tamer Shipp, Bullet learns some things about himself--who he is, and who he can perhaps become."@en
  • "Als hardloper voelt Bullet Tillerman zich niet thuis in het schoolteam. Als hij alleen loopt in het veld glijden de kilometers onder zijn voeten door, maar kan hij ook afstand nemen van de problemen van alledag."

  • "Bullet Tillerman is a track team star who answers to no one. He'd rather be cut from the team than work with the promising new runner, Tamer Shipp. But Bullet finds his own rules are becoming too painful to live by. As a dedicated runner, a teenage boy has always managed to distance himself from other people until the experience of coaching one of his teammates on the track team gradually helps him see the value of giving and receiving."@en
