"When the Whistle Blows" by Fran Slayton is set in the summer of 1963 and follows the story of a young boy named Rusty who lives in a small Virginia town. His life revolves around his passion for baseball and spending time with his friends. As the summer unfolds, Rusty grapples with the pressures of growing up, family expectations, and social change, all while dreaming of one day becoming a professional baseball player. The narrative captures the innocence of youth, the challenges of friendship, and the bittersweet moments that define a pivotal summer in Rusty's life.
