In this sequel to Football Genius, Troy White is working for the Atlanta Falcons helping to read the opposing team's defense on every down. Seth Holloway, a friend of Troy's and member of the Atlanta Falcons football team, has made an enemy of a reporter named Peele. Peele has made it his life's mission to ruin Seth's career like Seth ruined his in college. Peele becomes obsessed with Troy - who is he, what is he doing talking to the coach when he is only the ball boy, who is his mother, how is he related to Seth. Peele uses his reporter credentials to sneak into the owner's box and get an interview with Troy about his abilities. Peele uses that information to accuse the Falcons of stealing plays from their opponents. The reporter doesn't stop there - he accuses Seth of using steroids. While all of this is happening, Troy's football team is heading to the playoffs and Seth, amid all the accusations of cheating and using steroids, can no longer be their coach. What starts out as an innocent interview undermines everything in Troy's life. How can Troy and his friends help Seth clear his name in time for both the Falcon's and Troy's team's playoffs.
Once again,Tim Green writes from experience as an NFL player and creates a wonderful book about truth, loyalty, friendship, and never giving up. Mr. Green's children (characters in his books are named after his children) have a say in every book he writes, hes asks them their opinion, and uses their input to create wonderful novels about sports and life outside of sports. Every Tim Green book I have read I have thoroughly enjoyed. I hope he keeps writing books for young adults for a long time.
