Review

Improbably, middle-schooler Ryan finds himself the new "kid" owner of the Dallas Cowboys after the sudden death of the father he never knew. Football fans will enjoy reading about Ryan's efforts to get more playing time on his middle school football team and his interactions with Cowboys' coaches and players. The book leads up to an exciting game with a rival team led by Ryan's stepbrother (he never knew existed). Although Ryan lets his celebrity status get the better of him for a while, in the end he realizes who his true friends are and ends up doing the right thing.

Overall Book Score: good
