Description
Another exciting, fast-paced sports story from Fred Bowen featuring lots of play-by-play action
Matt Monroe is a shoo-in for starting quarterback for the Parkside Middle School football team this year.
Or is he?
Devro, a new seventh grader, looks pretty impressive. He's consistent and can run the plays almost as well as Matt. And he's got speed.
As the fall football season unfolds, the team has more than its share of surprises and unexpected challenges, as well as plenty of victories and upsets on and off the field—all of which Matt records and analyzes in a journal he keeps for his English class. By the last kickoff of the season, Matt has learned that a team is only as good as the sum of its parts and that playing together is the only way to win.

- bioText: Fred Bowen was born in Marblehead, Massachusetts, a seaside town north of Boston. Most of his family still lives there—he has four big brothers and two sisters.
His dad loved sports. One of Bowen's earliest memories is watching the 1957 World Series on TV with his dad and his brothers. Bowen's dad was his Little League coach and his brothers were his teammates in backyard football and "driveway basketball."
When Bowen turned eighteen, he left behind his sports-happy childhood and headed to the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Bowen has always loved US and world history and he made history his major in college. Bowen also loves sports history because of all the great dramas and big personalities, which is why he weaves real sports history into all of his stories.
After he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, he went to George Washington Law School in Washington, DC.
Shortly after he graduated, he met Peggy Jackson, a journalist. They got married two years later and now have two grown children. Their son is a college baseball coach and their daughter works for a nonprofit in Chicago. When they were in elementary school, Bowen coached their baseball, basketball, and soccer teams—more than thirty teams in all.
Bowen was a lawyer for many years and retired from practicing law so that he could write for kids full time. He gets to spend a lot more time writing and he gets more time to visit schools and talk with kids about his books. He also speaks at a lot more conferences and meets more cool teachers and librarians. - name: Fred Bowen

September 1, 2011
Grades 4-7 In another absorbing sports tale from the prolific and dependable Bowen, an eighth-grade jock not only records the ups and downs of an exciting football season but he catches the writing bug. Tracking the progress of the middle-school team he quarterbacks from tryouts to the championship game in an assigned journal, Matt shares both increasingly detailed and well-described accounts of each victory or defeat and his own changing opinion of a gifted but annoyingly self-confident new team member. With practice and frequent critical feedback from his English teacher, his entries go from Paragraph 1. We had practice again today. We did a bunch of exercises and stuff to gems like The dark, the cold, the hard groundit all made me realize that winter was coming. In the end, sharing an MVP trophy with his erstwhile rival takes the sting out of losing the last game, and Matt is left mulling his next move: I like being part of a team. And I can write about winter track. The author expertly balances the subplots and football action.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
