Scramble
You Can Never Outrun the PastWhen fifteen-year-old Blake awakens with vivid memories of a life he's never lived, he discovers he possesses knowledge of future events that could change everything. Armed with these insights Blake must navigate the treacherous waters of high school while grappling with an impossible question. How do you use knowledge of the future responsibly?
As he attempts to help his friends Li and Eduardo achieve their dreams while building his own path to a football scholarship, Blake discovers that changing the future comes with unexpected consequences and that some problems can't be solved with foreknowledge alone. His mother's deteriorating health, his brother's increasingly dangerous behavior, and the complex dynamics of teenage relationships prove that the future is far more fragile than he imagined.
In the second half of his freshman years. Blake must learn that true leadership isn't about having all the answers, it's about making the right choices when the stakes are the highest.

A very good read
I found this a very entertaining story. The games are detailed, MC's problems off the field are realistic, and thenot-getting-rich-quuck more believable than other rags-to-riches stories I've read.
