Troy White has a phenomenal gift. He can predict football plays before they happen. Any position. Any player. Any team.
When Troy's single mom gets a job working in public relations for the Atlanta Falcons, Troy figures it's his chance to prove what he can do. But first he has to get to the Falcons—and with tight security and a notoriously mean coach, even his mom's field passes aren't much help.
Then Troy and his best friends devise a plan to get the attention of star linebacker Seth Halloway. With Seth's playing and Troy's genius, the Falcons could be unstoppable—if they'll only listen.
Bestselling author and former NFL player Tim Green scores a touchdown with this exhilarating novel, his first for young readers. Football Genius is an action-packed adventure with gripping suspense, a hero you can really root for, and an insider's look at the world of professional football.
Nancy in Seattle, WA : Quick reading and fun storyline. Dreams abound for both the kids and the adults in this football focused tale. Focus is always on telling the truth, faith, family and friends. There are close calls, trials and adversity along the way. All of the dreams are started on their way to completion by the end though, like life, we don’t know how it all turns out.
My son loved this book. We also purchased Football Champ and Football Hero which he also enjoyed reading. I highly recomend this book. My son is 10 and loves the game of football!
Tim Green is a multi-talented man and this book adds yet another hyphen to his titles – youth author. I am way past my teens but I also found this an engaging read and highly recommend it.
This book is a super book for a 13 yr old boy to read. It kept his attention thru the whole book. Read it in two days, and got a 100 on his book report. Loved it, and bought the Football Hero by Tim Green for his next report.
Troy White is an addict, well at least a football one. He loves the Atlanta Falcons and wishes he could be on the team. Troy has a plan that can possibly put him on the team. All he has to do is get to the Falcons and show them his secret weapon, HIS BRAIN.
To help Troy with his plan he’ll need his two best friends, friend #1 is Tate; Tate is an eleven year old girl who loves football and is on the boy’s football team. Friend #2 is Nathan; Nathan is a big boy who likes to use his size as an advantage. But Troy might not need help if his mom keeps getting in the way. Troy and his mom have a strong relationship but that could change.
Will Troy’s mom lighten up her grip or will she tighten it harder and harder till Troy pops. Only way to find out is to read the Football Genius. Tim Green’s book was a wonderful realistic novel about never giving up. I would recommend this master piece to 11-14 year old boys who love football. If you ever come across the Football Genius, buy it and read it over and over again until your eyes bleed of boredom. P.s. that boredom thing will take along time because this book is crackalackin.
