Troy believes he can predict football plays if he watches games closely and understands the pattern of the plays. When his mom gets a job with the Atlanta Falcons he tries to tell the defensive coach his gift so that his favorite team can win a game, but instead he is escorted off the field by security. In the process of trying to help his team, he gets himself and his mother into a lot of trouble. His only hope is to somehow contact the linebacker, Seth Halloway, and get him to believe in his unusual skill so that he can help the Falcons win. Meanwhile, Troy is having trouble with his own football team because the class bully’s dad is the coach and refuses to let Troy play, despite the fact he is the best quarterback they have. Can Troy ever get anyone to recognize his talent and passion for football?
This fun football story will engage even the most reluctant male readers. There is excitement, drama, family turmoil, strong friendsip, and of course a lot of football action. The age level is a big too low for my school, but the story is fun and the characters are engaging. Sports fans will enjoy this quick read.
This is a good review and almost sums up the whole book so thank you for this review.
