Description
Alex Myers, a student athlete who tries to take on the sports establishment in his new town, is a triple-threat athlete, great at football, basketball, and baseball. But he'll have to fight for a spot on the varsity team. Alex is a quarterback, but from the first day of football practice, it's clear that that position is very much filled by the coach's son, Matt. Alex has the better arm, but Matt has more experience and the coach's loyalty. But just as his star is rising, Alex gets blindsided, the state has started drug testing, and Alex's test come back positive for steroids. Alex know that's not right. But he doesn't know if it's a mistake or if someone wants to make sure he can't play.
My Comments
Great page turner not only for football fans. This is a sure bet for a wide range of kids. Not a difficult read even though the number of pages may seem daunting for some readers. Middle to high school.
