Being a football mom, one whose son played nose tackle, if what happened to Isaiah happened to him, I’d probably make him quit. This book isn’t necessarily focused on football but the repercussions and what can happen to a person when their bell is cracked. I liked how it also focused on Isaiah‘s pre-football days and post football days. Football definitely gives a troubled kid focus, however, Isaiah‘s trouble stemmed from the devastating loss of his sister Hannah. He was acting out and the only way for him to straighten up and get some structure was for his father to force his hand and make him choose football. Unfortunately there were repercussions to being so focused and playing as hard as Isaiah did. The relationship with Grace almost seemed secondary. Overall it was a good book, I picked this up because some of our middle school readers asked for sports books. It's a compelling, quick read with some good game details. But the bulk of the story is about the main character dealing with the fallout of family tragedy and past decisions. Not my cup of tea, but I think our teens will be into it. Literary Merit: Good Characterization: Good Recommended: yes Level: High School or above This is one of the first sports related YA fiction I have read. I really enjoyed it! Isaiah was a very likeable main character. The narrative follows Isaiah’s sport injury. Isaiah has allowed football to define him since his sister died in a car accident. Deals with grief, sports injury, dysfunctional family, and addiction (through a secondary character). nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
