Football Genius by Tim Green



 


  Four Stars


Troy White had a great gift - he could predict beforehand the opposing football team's strategy and plays.  Call it ESP or intuition - either way, Troy just knew he could be very valuable to his favorite team - the Atlanta Falcons. Even though the team's star linebacker lived in a ritsy neighborhood close to Troy, he knew he'd never have a chance to meet him - much less, help them have a winning season.  He couldn't even get his own football coach to let him play - not as long as Troy played the same position as the coach's annoying son, Jamie.


Troy thought his luck had changed.  His mom found a great knew job working in the PR department of the Falcons.  She even had an All-Access pass!  Troy would get to see the action up close!  And maybe, just maybe, he'd have a chance to help Seth and the Falcons win the championship.

Troy's plan fails miserably.  He gets arrested for trying to sneak up to Seth and the Falcon's Coach during a game.  His mom loses her new job.  And to top it off, she busts him for sneaking into Seth's backyard through a hole in the fence and stealing a game ball.

Troy knows he has to prove to everyone he really is a football genius - no matter what it takes.

  2. Football Geniuos is a great book its manialy about this boy named Greg and his favrite team is the Falcons.Wellhis enemy in the book is Jamie he is allways picken on Greg well him and Jamie made a bet.The bet was that Greg couldn't get a NFL Falcons football before their game on saturday and Greg said he could so Greg tried.Greg ended up stealing the football in the middle of the night and a cop found out and started looking for Greg but Greg got lucky and hide in the bushes and the cop couldn't find him.So Greg brong it to school the next day and gloted in front of Jamie's face.Well Greg's mom found out and guess wat she made him go give it back in person he thought that was really embaressing but his mom said that should teach him a lesson.Seth Hollway was a star LB and he came over Greg's house and Seth found out that Greg has a gift and its to know what play is going to happen next in the football game and Seth finds that interresting.I'll let you read the rest!
