Publisher Description:

Are you ready for some football? Check out this action-packed Sports Story Series book from Washington Post KidsPost columnist and author Fred Bowen - perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green.

"Plenty of walloping gridiron action...unexpectedly potent drama." ―Booklist

"An excellent opportunity for a group discussion and will be a fine addition to other popular play-by-play sports chapter books." ―School Library Journal

Sam loves football. There's nothing better than the rush he gets when his team, the Cowboys, are working together--moving closer and closer to the end zone.

But in a key game, the Cowboys beat their archrivals to remain undefeated, thanks to a major play by Sam. However, the celebration ends when he and his teammates make an unwelcome discovery: The winning play was illegal.

Is the Cowboys' perfect season in jeopardy? Did they really deserve to win?

Author Fred Bowen delivers exciting play-by-play action along with an important story of winning and losing, truth and consequences, and good sportsmanship.

Discussion Guide available.
