This was the last book for this season's Treehouse Book Club. Twelve year old Will Tyler is an amazing running back whose whole life is football. When the town he lives in can no longer afford to fund their team Will finds a way to get a major sponsorship for their team. Then the challenge was having enough players for the team. They manage to get the bare minimum by including one girl player and convincing his hard-working, disabled dad to be the coach. The Bulldogs are up against a season battling fully funded and manned teams while all the players do double duty on both offense and defense. Lupica includes lots of detailed game descriptions along with the personal drama going on in the players lives. This is a good one for sports fans.
