| Publisher Description: Football is back in 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. "Another absorbing sports tale from the prolific and dependable Bowen... The author expertly balances the subplots and football action." ―Booklist Matt Monroe is a shoo-in for starting quarterback for the Parkside Middle School football team this year. Or so he thinks. Devro, a new seventh grader, looks impressive. He's consistent and can run the plays almost as well as Matt. And he's got speed. Could he ruin Matt's chances of taking the spot? Utilizing Matt's journal, author Fred Bowen shows readers the importance of reflection and teamwork as one strives to be a better player. In the afterword, he shares the real story of Instant Replay: The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer, a book by Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Jerry Kramer and sportswriter Dick Schaap covering the 1967 Green Bay Packers Super Bowl-winning season. Discussion Guide available. |
