Review

Landon has always dreamed of playing football, but up until now it hasn't been possible. But, a move to football loving community and the doctor's approval his dream has become a reality. Landon has cochlear implants and his mother worries that he'll get hurt not only physically, but emotionally -- bullies they are everywhere. This is another outstanding book by Tim Green that confronts the topics of confidence, standing up for what you believe in, handling disabilities and highlights having character and kindness.

Fans of football, Tim Green and Mike Lupica will definitely enjoy this book. A fast paced and action filled should be on library shelves. Recommended for grades 7-12.

Overall Book Score: very good
