Synopsis
**"Subtle, nuanced, and full of heart" (*Kirkus Reviews)*, this powerful story about football and a boy on the brink of adulthood is perfect for fans of Carl Deuker and Mike Lupica.**
Seventeen-year-old Zeb Holloway is happy to work in his uncle's auto repair shop and cruise through school without much effort. He's a quarterback on his high school's undefeated football team, but he never plays. That is, until the star player is injured a week before the state championships.
As Zeb assumes the role of QB and team leader, the entire town is watching him. And when a college recruiter says Zeb could have a future beyond his small New Hampshire town, he realizes there's a bigger life out there for him.
Can one game really change everything? Fate and football collide in this moving sports novel.
