Have you ever planned to read only one chapter, but ended up reading the whole book; or scheduled to read for ten minutes, but ended up reading for hours on end. While reading KID OWNER, by Tim Green, this will easily happen to the reader. KID OWNER contains many plot twists in the intricate plot. Tim Green also includes ample details about the characters and setting, that greatly enhance the plot and the reader's comprehension of the book. For example, sometimes I have trouble comprehending a book, but I could understand and comprehend KID OWNER very easily. KID OWNER would be a great read for many ages.
KID OWNER, by Tim Green, was published September 29, 2015. The genre of KID OWNER is sports fiction, which is my personal favorite genre, which is why I would recommend this book to many people. The main character's name is Ryan Zinna, and his two best friends, who help him through many tough times throughout the book, are Izzy and Jackson. KID OWNER was written in first person point of view, which gives the reader a better understanding of what the Ryan is like, and his feelings on different situations. The theme of KID OWNER is to battle through tough situations and don't let what other people think and do get into your head.
KID OWNER is about a boy named Ryan Zinna who's father, who he had never met, unexpectedly dies. As it turns out Ryan's father owned the Dallas Cowboys, and gave the team to Ryan in his will. Ryan is a very small kid for his age and had been bullied for a very long time, even by his football coaches, until he was declared owner of the Dallas Cowboys. His new title helped him with many of his problems, including playing time and his position on the school football team. This means that when his title is challenged, everything could go south for him.
Tim Green used thrilling plot twists to enhance the reader's longing to know what will happen next. He also likes to use cliff-hangers at the end of many chapters to make the reader want to continue reading KID OWNER. Some people may say that Tim's use of cliff-hangers can be excessive and not important, but I disagree because the cliff-hangers make the story more interesting and help develop the story. KID OWNER is an amazing novel due to Tim Green's brilliant style of writing and use of conflicts to make the reader want to continue reading. I urge you to read KID OWNER by Tim Green, and don't you want to find out what happens to Ryan?

Ok, so first of all, confession time: I did NOT expect to enjoy this book half as much as I did.
I read it because Tim Green is a rather popular sports writer, and one of my students last year hauled his books around, especially this one, and told me I should read it. I have several boys interested in sports fiction, but this one is MUCH longer than a Jake Maddox, and they always want to know if it's worth the investment of their time. So, I figured I'd read it, and that it would be ok for what it was, and that I would end up thinking "Oh, ok, I think they'll like it, though it's not my usual cup of tea," and I would rate it 4 stars, 3 from me, and 1 for the enjoyment I thought my kiddos would get out of it.
But I wound up ABSOLUTELY LOVING IT.
Me, has never really understood or cared one whit for football, only marginally likes baseball, and has never willingly participated in any kind of sport other than church tennis, volleyball, and basketball, all of which I'm horrible at. I'm not very coordinated (read:total klutz).
This book is about more than sports. It's about friendship, loyalty, and how a boy, who has always been a "good kid", starts having thoughts, feelings, and actions that don't equate with that label. Will Ryan let the ideas of stardom go to his head and stay there? Will he really be the Kid Owner of the Dallas Cowboys? Can he keep the two best friends he's ever had? Or will he abandon the "good" boy his mother raised him to be for one last shot at fame? This book will send you on a heart pounding adventure for the answers to those questions!
On to the characters! I loved 'em. There were some stereotypical characters, but there were more than enough to connect with. Ryan goes through some MAJOR changes throughout the book, but I found myself feeling like it was how a lot of REAL kids would respond to the external changes to his life. I didn't like everything he said or did, but somehow, it humanized him. Sometimes wanting to flick a character on the nose is just a sign of good character development. JACKSON. Ryan's closest friend, and arguably my favorite. A big, bumbling goofball who is just plain LIKABLE. Izzy, the girl obsessed with football, though most people don't know it. I even liked several of the adults! I hesitate to go too much into them, because I could go into some serious spoiler territory.
At any rate, this book had me on pins and needle, made my heart pound, and actually had me pumping my fists in the air on several occasions! Definitely moving to the top of my rec list to any kid that shows an inkling of like for sports fiction. And even for those who just like a good story. Because it is.

Ryan is trying his best to make his 7th grade football team better by doing a spread formation. So he has his other coach to convince coach Hubbard to do that formation.

It was a very good book. It was interesting and related to how kids think about things. It was also about the everyday life of the kid to which I enjoyed. There was also good football in it. Also, there were a lot of twists.

The stakes for this game end up being very high for a Texas Middle School football game. The stakes are that the winner will prevail as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

This is another great read by Tim Green for the sports enthusiast young and old. It is the story of a seventh grader named Ryan who lives with his single mother and has been shielded from knowing anything about his dad. Unexpectedly, his dad dies. Ryan learns that his dad was the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and Ryan will be the new owner. Well, maybe. There are others who feel they should own the team, and they will do all they can to keep it out of Ryan's hands. Skillfully written to keep you reading until the very end.

The reason I like this book is because this is exactly my reality. A 7th grade boy wanting to play football and has single mother struggling in life. While Ryan is having the ruff road knowing he never his father and can't play football but eventually did play. After his father dieing Ryan is revealed that his father was the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Ryan is named the owner of the Cowboys and the mother is not ok with it

I honestly did not like it very much. It had an interesting concept, but I hated the main character as he was very smug and spoiled.
January 5, 2017
The best book I've ever read in my whole life time! I was so thrilled in the end and I encourage you to read it!

Great book, though I'm still saddened at the ending :(

Kid Owner by Tim Green is a great realistic fiction novel that is for all ages to enjoy. In the book the main character Ryan is a small but good football player. He is not given the chance to play that much. The everything changes. Ryan's dad who he never met dies and he inherits the Dallas Cowboys. His mom is not too fond of this but Ryan is super excited. Then Ryan's half brother threatens to take away his shares through some contingency plan. In the end Ryan must play a football game to beat his half brother. He loses but is able to keep the team because he showed more sportsmanship. I think that this book is very good because I can relate to it. On pg 183 the book says, "Excitement swirled with fear in my gut and I could barely keep my lunch down." This is right after Ryan was told that he is going to be starting quarterback. I can relate to this because in sports when something good happens I feel the exact same way. This shows how good this book does at connecting it's readers and describing feelings. I think one bad thing about this book is how it ends abruptly. I wish there was an epilogue that talked about what Ryan did with the team. That way the reader is not left wondering anything. Since this book was so relatable I would give it a 9 out of 10.

3RD QUARTER 4TH CHOICE BOOK
This book at first seamed a little unrealistic, Ryan is a "Kid Owner" of a NFL football team. But as I read through it, the whole Kid Owner drama didn't seam as the main plot. This book is about a average 7th grader who finds out that his father (which he barely knew) had died. The father left in Ryan's will, the ownership of the Dallas Cowboys. Ryan wants to be a Quarter Back on his middle school football team. Along the way he has troubles with bullies and non hopeful coaches. He is finally gotten onto one of the coaches good side because of the announcement of his ownership. This allows him to start in a few games but he doesn't know how lucky he will get. This book kept me on the edge of my seat because of the drama, and I finished it in two nights because I was so intrigued, I also really wanted to know how the book ended. All in all this book was my favorite out of any book that was not in a series. I would recommend this book to any football lover.

This book is very well written and keeps me hooked. The constant football references make sense and add to the plot. I also love the addition of real players and owners being characters in the story. It helps me relate to the plot. I could see this being a real story in the headlines.
I thought that they could add more of Dillon because he was a unique antagonist. He was the opposite of Ryan, but he was still his family. I was also confused with the twist at the end and it kind of made little sense. It would also help if there was a better conclusion after the game where it is official that he owns the Cowboys. Overall the book was interesting, but its ending was pretty rough.

Ryan Zinna was a kid who struggled at football, but loved the game. He grew up without a father, and knew nothing about him. Until one day, he died unexpectedly, and Ryan finds that he was the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. And then even bigger news, he is granted the opportunity of being the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. This was a dream come true for Ryan, especially considering the fact that mostly everyone thought he was a loser at football. He knew this was his chance to showcase himself on the football team, and actually get some real attention for once. Ryan would dig as hard as he could in practice, and get help from friends at school to showcase his new stardom. But that all came crashing down when his stepmother demands that her own son should be the owner of the Cowboys. Ryan could not only lose the Dallas Cowboys, but much more.
I predicted that I would enjoy this book before I even started reading it, and surprise! I did. If your'e a fan of Tim Green books, or any kind of sports books, or just good books in general, you will definitely enjoy this book. Kid Owner was full of crazy plot twists that make you want to read more every time. I found myself planning to read for 10 minutes, but ended up reading for who knows how long. That's how interesting and suspenseful this book was.
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. No matter your interests, especially in football, this book will have you on the edge of your seat as you read, and continuing to make you want to read more. Enjoy!

A kid inherits the Dallas Cowboys. That's reason enough to retch right there, but I've heard there are people who actually like the team. (I've also heard there are a large number of fans who would celebrate Jerry Jones's death, but I digress.)
On the whole, I saw a movie like this about a kid inheriting a baseball team. There's nothing new here, except for an evil step mother.
Okay for kids, but perhaps not jaded cynics like me.

Kid owner is a "Need to read" book. It is a book about a kid named Ryan whose dad that he has never meet all the suddenly die. This book is a motivating book to younger kids to show them that you can do anything. It also is a book that you cant stop reading. Overall this is one of my favorite books of all time.

A theme of this book is never stop trying, Ryan never stops trying on the football field and off. He tries by doing his best in school and as a backup. Soon he learns he is a kid owner and tries to win it over his step brother. When the final test comes he plays as hard as he can and doesn't stop trying.

The book had a lot of action. For example in the last couple chapters his step brother and hi were playing in a football game but Jake's team lost. So he thought that he wasn't going to be the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. But surprisingly he did because the GM picked him out of his half brother and him.

Ryan Zinna's father has passed away, but his will is clear. He wants Ryan to take control of the Dallas Cowboys, despite only being 12. However, other people in his family, including Ryan's half-brother, are trying to protest this decision and win over the right to the team. Meanwhile, Ryan is trying to get some playing time as a quarterback on his middle-school team, despite being told he is too small to play the position. He has impressed the coaches with his intangibles, but getting them to change their entire offense is another story. For this, he needs help from someone big, which is why he uses the coach of the Cowboys to help.
One thing I like about this book is how it has two different storylines. Ryan has to deal with the Cowboys, but also has his middle-school team on his hands. SPOILER ALERT. For the most of the story, Ryan handles each problem separately, but the two situations come together at the end of the story. Ryan is playing against his half-brother, and the winner of the game gets the share of the team.
Another thing I enjoyed about this book was the message that it sent. Ryan tries to use his new ownership as a ticket to more popularity in school, but in the end, people still looked at him the same way. His friends still liked him for who he was.
Though I enjoyed "Kid Owner," I wish that it would have included more details about the Cowboys and the life of an owner. Sure, Ryan made a coupload of trips to the team's practice facility, but not too much about his role is included in this book.
I would recommend this book to football players. Many of them should be able to resonate with Ryan. There is a lot of football talk in th story, but it is also a great read that many people should be able to enjoy. However, football players seem to be the primary audience.

This book review is for Kid Owner by Tim Green. The lexile range for this book is 790L. In this book the main character Ryan, gets a chance to own the Dallas Cowboys due to his dad's death. Ryan own's the team for a couple of weeks than his step-mom and half brother Dillon decide to bring this into court so they can own the team. The Gm for the Cowboys decides to have Ryan and Dillon's football team compete for the owner. After Ryan's team lost, Ryan got to own the team due to his outstanding effort during the game.
The theme I think of this book is if you never give up you can succeed really well. Ryan never gave up during the game that decided who would own the team, Ryan even took himself out of the game so the 2nd string quarterback could throw the hail-mary pass that Ryan knew he couldn't throw. Owning the Cowboys for Ryan was really helpful for him because he never really had a lot of friends so since he owned the Cowboys people seemed to respect him more than normal. This has also affected the way his football coach Mr. Hubbard respected him because he coach loved the Cowboys so I think he was kind of jealous. I think that this book transfer through the chapters kind of good because at the beginning of the book it was kind hard to follow.
I liked this book more towards the end than the beginning. The beginning is kind of hard to follow so take your time when you read the beginning of this book. I would recommend this book to people that like football and are in for a interesting book. My favorite part of the book was when Ryan got to start as quarterback and he really impressed the crowd. I also liked this book because I love the game of football and I can relate to the experience that Ryan had in the middle of the book.

I received an ARC of this book as a first reads winner from the publisher: HarperCollins.
Many of my middle school students over the last few years have been Tim Green fans, and this is another book I will recommend to them for sure! I think the idea of a 'kid owner' will really get their interest. But I think that even those upper elementary and middle-school readers who haven't read any of Tim Green's books will enjoy this as well. It's clear that the author has experienced the world that revolves around eating, sleeping, and breathing football and he makes good use of that knowledge in his books without overwhelming the football uninitiated. (Of course the true football aficionados will appreciate the football terminology and play sequences a bit more.)
The main character, Ryan, loves football but is definitely not the star of his football team. He's not recognized at the 'popular' table where many others on the football team sit. When he finds out that his dad, who's never been a part of his life, has left him with ownership of the Cowboys he thinks all of that will change. He realizes, of course, that it's never that easy.
Bring in a jealous step-mother and step-brother and things can get interesting. They definitely want in on this ownership deal, too.
At the same time Ryan is still trying to figure out what being a good friend or a "really really good friend" means when you're talking about a girl you've hung out with as friends for a while. (She also happens to be a star soccer player and know a thing or two about football).
It kept me interested to the very end.

Book Review On “Kid Owner” By: Tim Green
Book Review By: Aidan O'Hern
Have you ever wanted to own a team? Well this is what happened to Ryan. In the book Kid Owner by Tim Green, Ryan's dad dies unexpectedly, and he gets the job of owning the Dallas Cowboys, which his dad owned. Ryan is speechless. Although his dad died this is his dream come true. He always wanted to own a NFL team. With help from his friends Jackson, Izzy, and his middle school teacher he developed an offence suitable for him.
This is a realistic fiction book because it could happen for a couple reasons like someone's dad could die and someone could inherit a football team like the Dallas Cowboys.
The internal conflict is a character vs self conflict, and it is Ryan has mixed emotions towards the beginning of the story when his dad dies, and Ryan inherits the Dallas Cowboys. He always wanted to own a team, but he didn't think it would come so early. He didn't think he would have to give his father up for him to have a dream come true. The external conflict is a character vs character conflict and it is,Ryan and his step-mother have a lot of drama throughout the story. Let's just say his step mom makes him mad.
Overall I liked this book. it was super cool. I would love to own a team. Throughout the story I was amazed by how lucky he is and every page from 20 to to the end was action packed. I recommend this book to anyone who likes business because Ryan owns the team. And also there is a lot of business involving owning sports teams. I would recommend this to boys in middle school as well because they will be able to understand the book better.

He always wanted to own a team, but he didn't think it would come so early. He didn't think he would have to give his father up for him to have a dream come true. The external conflict is a character vs character conflict and it is,Ryan and his step-mother have a lot of drama throughout the story. Let's just say his step mom makes him mad.
Overall I liked this book. it was super cool. I would love to own a team. Throughout the story I was amazed by how lucky he is and every page from 20 to to the end was action packed. I recommend this book to anyone who likes business because Ryan owns the team. And also there is a lot of business involving owning sports teams. I would recommend this to boys in middle school as well because they will be able to understand the book better.
