5 stars





Rocky is a hard worker,very smart,and he is fast.Bobby is not so good in school but he is fast just like Rocky. The book begins when the team is in the locker room changing into their uniform.The team is getting ready for the first game of the season. Most of the story takes place at a middle school practicing football or in class.The problem in this book is when Bobby broke his leg and he is the team's starting safty and he is out for the season. It gets worse the team's back up safty is moving out of the state. The coach wants Rocky and the kicker to play safty and its up to them and if they say yes that means way more practice than their team.The story ends when the season ends.
I think the author was tring to tell us its not easy playing football and school is a lot more important than sports.On page 34 Bobby broke his leg and he still has to do good on his grades to play football.Bobby broke his leg by taking Rocky's music player with out asking. Then they got in a fight and Bobby broke his leg on a bench.This book made me feel like I was Rocky feeling gulty that I broke Bobby's leg. I would recommend this book because the problem could happen to anybody you know or even you. Also it shows how big a comentment football is.
