Fred Bowen has written numerous sports-themed books for elementary and middle school readers and this is one more in a series called "Sports Story." If you like football you will love this book! Matt Monroe is in 8th grade and in his mind is a shoo-in to be the starting quarterback for his team, Then Devro, a new 7th grader shows up and Matt is not so sure any more. Matt tells this story through a series of essays he writes for a journal he is required to keep for English class. His writing goes from boring to detailed as the season goes on and he also realizes that football is a team sport and one player is not any more important than another when it comes to the success of the team.
