good book for athets

This book is about a boy who plays for a crappie team .The boy has a super stare brother that also plays football but is much better, but the boy thinks he should be like him. In the beginning it's like every other sports book they start off kind of bad and are teased about at school. Some characters in the book have weird traditions like a kid name spray can goes to the field and pees on the end zones. But towards the end they really start to do well they start moving the ball and making nice plays on defense. After they start winning it seems like the older kids that made fun of them stared losing and they stopped making fun of them and started congratulating them. All together this is an awesome book, you would really want to read this book if you were a athlete with a good sense of humor .O speaking of sense of humor this book has a lot of really funny parts in it! I hope u really like it! I really liked this book because there was a lot of humor and how it made u feel like it made u feel like u were in the game. I would really recommend this book for people who like sports and comedy.

Great Story!!!

This story made you cry and laugh! What the main character, Wing went through made me want to cry! But I loved how his team transformed and succeeded!
