Quarterback Scramble

by Brandon Terrell, Gerardo Sandoval (Illustrator)

As the backup quarterback for the Hawks, Ben Paulson is happy to ride the bench and hang out with his teammates on the sidelines. But everything changes when the Hawks' star quarterback, Wes Blake, gets suspended for pulling poor grades in math. With Ben at the helm, the offense starts to stall, and his teammates place the blame squarely on his shoulders. Soon after, a possible solution to Ben's passing problems reveals itself -- but he's not so sure it's the right answer.

Review by M.K. : "Good book, but not into it."

[Noah Ayala]

II was reading quarterback scramble and I finished the boook and the quarterback got hurt so the second astring had to go in then he did alright but he was scared and he was getting slammed but they did good. I'm not going to read that series anymore.

Heard about this one at #titletalk. Glad I got it from the library, rather than purchasing it.

Kids who play sports often don't like to read about them. Wonder how these will go over? I'll have to check out a bunch from the library and find out!
