With no rules holding them back, they push forward, risking everything to claim what they think they deserve.
Quick Summary
Matt's back on the gridiron in the third book of the series, and this time he's dealing with the chaos of football practice, a tough opponent, and trying to keep his friendships intact all while cracking jokes and handling the pressure in a way that feels real for middle schoolers. The story is fast-paced and filled with laugh-out-loud moments, making it a great choice for kids who love sports or for those who usually shy away from longer books. Parents will find it's wholesome, with only a bit of competitive stress and a few tense game moments, but nothing too scary or mature. If your kid enjoys the humor of Diary of a Wimpy Kid or the sports action of Mike Lupica's novels, they'll probably dig this one too.
