Fun book. Love the part at the end that explains the basics of football.

I haven't had any takers to the first two books in this series, but I think with the 3rd and the 4th I'll be able to book talk some readers into them.
We'll see. It's not fully realistic, but I wonder if it will help kids think of ways to plan and practice. Will they notice how spying and cheating, teasing and bullying aren't rewarded? I wonder how kids will feel at the end. It's a great example of should be.
