Scott Parry has just moved to a new town with new kids, new school, new opportunities. Of course he is the biggest know-it-all in the whole sixth grade. His dream though is to become just like Doug Flutie, former player of the New England Patriots. The rest of Scott's skills are very poor and he is not confident that he will make a football team. His "new friend" Chris Conlan is possibly the best football player in the league but his school skills arn't to great. Together will Scott and Chris find a way out of both their delemas?
This book was great for the school "smarty" or for the school's best sports star. The way Mike Lupica set up his story was that he did not want to give the reader too big of a hint. The reader would have to solve it themselves. The characters from this book are from the school nerd to the school bully. In the end it always works out good for the innocent one. I would recommend it because there is suspense along with minor tragedies that keep the book interesting.
