Special Teams

A football book full of on the field action perfect for middle grade readers.

In football, most touchdowns are scored in two ways. First, give the ball to a player and let him run. Second, the quarterback throws the ball to a receiver who takes it in for the score. Leo wants to be a wide receiver--the player that catches passes and scores touchdowns.

But his coach isn't so sure that the position is right for Leo. He must figure out how to help his team in other ways by learning other ways to score. In Special Teams, Leo's team is counting on him to know his strengths and make the right play.
