This was a great book. It makes you have some really heart felt emotions and really love the characters in this book.

At firs this book was boring until the middle.n Just like always at that point the story picks up and gets good. The story was good since I feel the author truly expressed the sadness they felt and how outrageous the segregation was. It made me better understand the concept of the struggle between the whites and the blacks at that time. The story builds up to a fiery climax that was just astonishing. A lot of people complain about the use of a bad word but with out it you wouldn't truly feel the horror they felt long ago

"'It's not about getting knocked down, it's how you get back up.'" I usually don't read books about football, but this one was great! 8th grader Teddy's whole life is football. He lives, eats, breathes football. But his world is turned upside down when his father, who hasn't been part of Teddy's life for years, suddenly shows up on his doorstep and seems to think (and act like) he's the new coach of Teddy's football team. He expects Teddy to be the perfect player, which Teddy can't be all the time, and makes him try positions he's not accustomed to. On top of all that, Teddy and his friends Jack, Cassie, and Gus are organizing a fundraiser to support their school's music program, which was a big project to take on. Teddy is taking life one step, or tackle, at a time, and he needs to put on his A-game to work through his problems on and off the field. This book was an easy, fun read, and I recommend it to all sports lovers, especially those who love football! I liked this book a lot, and learned more about football then I've ever known! Another great novel by Mike Lupica! For ages 8+
