Fighting Upstream - (The Bushido Chronicles) by Jason Brick (Paperback)

About the Book

Demon-possessed wrestlers in Oregon and a decades-hopping time travel mission to Japan. It's all in a day's work for a member of the Bushido Warriors, but sometimes a day can last more than 24 hours.

Book Synopsis

It's the State Wrestling Championship, and Connor Morgan is nervous. If he does well, he'll get the attention of college scouts. If he gets the attention of college scouts, he'll get a scholarship. If he gets a scholarship, he might just be able to lift his family out of poverty.

But first he has to win. Which means squaring off against some of the biggest, best, most demon-ridden wrestlers in Oregon...all in between a decades-hopping time travel mission to save his mentor from certain death.

It's all in a day's work for a member of the Bushido Warriors, but sometimes a day can last more than 24 hours.
