About This Book

A band of recent grammar-school graduates arrive at a new high school and push to earn places on the football team, combining training, scrimmages, and matches with moments of friendship, rivalry, setbacks, and resourceful play. The narrative follows their preparation, confrontations with older players and bullies, strategic games, injuries and recoveries, and the ways teamwork and determination help them overcome odds. Game scenes alternate with off-field episodes of camaraderie and moral tests, culminating in a decisive contest that measures their skills and character.
