Since this was the first Football Book Matt Christopher wrote I wanted to dive into it right away. In the story Tommy Fletcher who was recently orphaned learned his step-father was coaching a Midget League Football team and by joining and playing well he hoped that would make the Powell's want to adopt him. There were moments he was worried about being sent somewhere else when he almost lost a half dollar he found in the backyard while Mrs.Powell was hanging up the laundry, when he tripped a play Since this was the first Football Book Matt Christopher wrote I wanted to dive into it right away. In the story Tommy Fletcher who was recently orphaned learned his step-father was coaching a Midget League Football team and by joining and playing well he hoped that would make the Powell's want to adopt him. There were moments he was worried about being sent somewhere else when he almost lost a half dollar he found in the backyard while Mrs.Powell was hanging up the laundry, when he tripped a player which resulted in a penalty and when the person from the Children's Department came to talk to the Powell's. Despite all this he told them he wanted to be with them and during a game against the Bullets the Powell's came to him on the bench and said to him that they can adopt him now which lifted his spirits where he was able to do a pick 6 and win the game for the Pirates.This book was a thrill ride and Matt Christopher really put the detail and sports action in the book and I liked the ending where after he gave them his gifts Tommy received a cake that spelled Happy Birthday Son where he said he was happy to have a Mom and Dad again

It was sad because Tommy was orphaned but it was happy when he made the football team. He learned to play right and you can't run right into people. Tommy suceeded and was allowed to live with the Powells. His family pushed him hard so he did well in school. The ending was happy, not sad like the beginning.

I thought this was a great book because it is about football. This kid is in the foster home, and he gets adopted. He likes football, so they sign him up. He likes to be the tight end. Tommy was not too bad. He didn't know if he would stay with them, so he had a game and found out he is staying. Tommy had a good game. It would be a great book for anyone who likes football.

I liked this book because it was about football. It was about a kid who has no parents hes in foster care and is going to play football but none of the kids want him because he play to rough.

My son likes the book but then he's biased for anything football related. I thought it oversimplistic but the book's not meant for my age group. My son likes the book but then he's biased for anything football related. I thought it oversimplistic but the book's not meant for my age group.
