The Team That Couldn't Lose

I say this is a great book.It is about a kid who is on the last place team.And there is someone who is secretly sending them plays. The main characters are Chip,Splash,turtle,and Daniel. The main reason I like this story is because I really like Football.

The Team That Couldn't Lose

I got this book for my 9 year old grandson who happens to be dyslexic but is also an absolute fanatic about football! He is reading it and loving it! I am THRILLED to have found these books that are so enticing they will make even a struggling reader want to read them. Thank YOU , Matt Christopher, for understanding what will motivate a young boy to read!

Cool Team

I like this book. I liked the part when the team was winning. I did not like the part when Danny was cheating on the plays. I would recommend this book.

The winners!

A Review by ErikThis book was an interesting story about a kid?s football team that was supposed to lose every game, but they mysteriously get a new play that they used to help them.Jasper was an old man who recognized the plays. He said they used them over 60 years ago when he was in high school. Chip, the quarterback, asked the high school coach if he was giving them the plays, but he said no.Every week they got a new play and practiced it. And every week they won the game. Jasper, chip the coach, and the other kids on the team wanted to know who was sending the plays to the coach. They tried and tried to see where the plays were coming from, but the only person who knew wouldn?t talk about it. The characters are like real kids and very interesting. The coach doesn?t know a lot about football but that part of what makes the story interesting. The book is interesting and doesn?t get boring. The main story talks about the football games and kids. But also talks about the mystery of who is sending the coach the secret plays and where did these plays come from. The worst part about the book is that the Author led part of it get boring because parts of the book drug on too long, especially in the middle. But most of the time it was fun to read.

Short But Sweet

I have this book & it is very good. In my title I put "Short But Sweet" because this book is roughly 80 pages. I read it in a day, but it is worth buying. I love this book, and I wish that everyone will read this book.
