The eighth grade football season couldn’t be going any better. The team and the coach are doing well together and are expecting to have a winning season. When a report card spells trouble, however, for the team’s ace kicker, Adam Costa, the team’s winning streak takes a turn. Will the team figure out a way to win without their teammate or will they have to give up their hopes of being in the playoffs?
A fun sports read for reluctant readers. The characters are realistic, the story is inspirational. Readers who like sports fiction, realistic fiction, and books about teamwork will enjoy reading this book. EL (4-6). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, HUN Public Library.
