**INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**From New York Times bestselling author and former NFL player Tim Green comes a gripping, deeply personal standalone football novel about a star middle school quarterback faced with a life-changing decision after his dad is diagnosed with ALS. Perfect for fans of Mike Lupica!With two all-star college football players for brothers and a former Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman for a father, it is only natural for sixth-grade quarterback Benjamin Redd to follow in their footsteps. However, after his dad receives a heartbreaking ALS diagnosis-connected to all those hard hits and tackles he took on the field-Ben' s mom becomes more determined than ever to get Ben to quit football. Ben isn' t playing just for himself though. This might be his dad' s last chance to coach. And his teammates need a quarterback that can lead them to the championships. But as Ben watches the heavy toll ALS takes on his dad' s body, he begins to question if this should be his final season after all.
"The sport' s allure comes through in a series of exciting clashes, with on-field heroics on the way to a last-yard, smash-mouth finale. An intense referendum on football' s dangers and glories. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "While football fans will enjoy the play-by-play action, the heart of the story lies in its depiction of strong family relationships. A winning sports novel, on and off the field. " -- Booklist
