Its a football story seldom told. Owen 9 is not a tale of triumphant champions or of lovable losers finding a way to win. It's the story of the players and coaches of a bad high school football team in a fading Michigan town as they stumble through a season marked by constant failures, many comical and a few sad, as they face the inevitability of a winless season
This book earned a three star in my opinion due to it jumping back and forth way too much between the football team and a student from Central Michigan University about what happened during her summer.
I recommend this book for teens who enjoy football, but also enjoy teenage drama.
