    About this audiobook

    Will Tyler can fly on a football field. He may not be the biggest running back around, but no one can touch him when it comes to hitting the hole and finding the end zone. And no one can match his love of the game. When Will has a football in hand, he may as well be flying for real because life can't touch him - his dad isn't so defeated, his town isn't so poor, and everyone has something to cheer for. All of which does him no good if the football season is canceled. With no funding for things like uniforms and a cared-for playing field, with seemingly every other family moving to find jobs, there simply isn't enough money or players for a season. Unless one kid can rally an entire town and give everyone a reason to believe . . .For fans of his bestselling novels Travel Team and Million-Dollar Throw, Mike Lupica delivers a feel-good sports story that will have readers cheering where they sit.

      “Phil’s Mistake Was Getting Too Entrenched With The Concept Of The Saudi Tour.”

      Apr 13, 2022

      A lot has been said about Phil Mickelson recently, not much of it complimentary in the wake of his reported comments regarding his involvement with the Saudi Golf Tour. Which is not exactly new. To my mind, Phil has always been underappreciated outsi

      This book in the classic novel of the Mexican Revolution. Azuela was himself a physician with one of the factions in the revolution, and this book projects some of the hopes and disenchantments he may have experienced. Following the travels and actions of a small group of men, commanded by a Demetrio Macías, the book portraits a world of simple men animated by an ingenuous hope in a better and freer future, but also the progressive brutalization and anarchization of the struggle until their destruction in an unglorious final fight. A superb novel.
    • 3/5
      not great, but a classic. points out the pointlessness and lack of justice in revolutionary violence. this is an important book in Mexican history but it is not "good."
