Game Plan

Beano Hatton, the student manager of the Barton High School football team, is thrust into the spotlight--and onto the hot seat--when the team's coach is hospitalized one week before a big game, and Beano is forced to step in and lead the team. "Dygard's competent storytelling and effective characterization make the book a pleasurable read. Beano is likable and his dilemma compelling....A satisfying title."--Booklist.
