I wish Julie Graham-Chang's parents were in my life.

This series might be past its prime.

If you like heartwarming football stories, such as "Remember the Titans" or Lupica's other works, then I think you will enjoy this one. I knew it was going to be the kind of book for me when the main female character says "How come when I talk trash I'm being tough but if a guy talks trash then he's just one of the guys."

I love Ed Young's illustrations.
