Gridiron

by Chris Kreie

After she gets cut from the soccer team her senior year, Riley doesn't know what to do. She had the best kick on the team but wasn't fast enough. When the high school football team is in desperate need of a new kicker, Riley decides to go for it. But swapping a soccer ball for a football isn't so easy. Riley has to learn how to kick a football and deal with a teammate who isn't happy about her being on the team. When it comes down to the wire, will her natural talent be enough? Or will Riley crack under the pressure?

About the author

I have been a fan of stories for about as long as I can remember, but I did not start writing down my own stories until I was well into my 20s. I currently work as an elementary school librarian in a Minneapolis suburb and have a great life hanging out with my wife and two kids, taking vacations with them whenever I can, and writing as much as time allows.

this book is about a girl who plays soccer and doesn't make the school team.She said she was going to be the best on JV but did not make it. so she does the second best thing and tried out for football. She enjoys football and thought she had a good leg so she tried out.And boom shes on the team.


I feel this book is for Kids who are in school Because this book had a spiral of bad things but it turns out well. she has not made the soccer team varsity or JV but she still made a team. This book could help people in a spiral of bad things i feel but first the book has to get out there.
