"This is a really short book anyone could read easily. It was about this new boy who came to a school who turned out not to be the most popular kid. But one day on the bus the most popular kid in his class stood up for him and they started to hang out. The popular kid discovers that the new kid has a great kick and throw and thinks he should join the football team. The book has a good ending and if you like reading about sports this might be a book you would want to read."
"This is a light-hearted book that deals with the meaning of friendship as two quite different boys become involved in each others' lives. One is a natural athlete who is popular with everyone. The other is often refered to as "The Brain" because of his love for learning. Each learns to help his friend by giving from his strengths.
There is some description of football that could keep the attention of readers attracted by the cover and title, but most of the story focuses on issues related to growing up, such as friendship, dealing with bullies, and self-image."
