Football Genius

Troy White has a secret talent: the ability to watch several football plays then predict what each team will do next. His mom, Tessa, knows his secret, but doesn't take it seriously. Nobody does, until Tessa gets a job with the Atlanta Falcons and Troy convinces star wide-receiver Seth Halloway to take a chance on letting him help change the fate of his losing team. But can Troy perform under pressure? And even if he does, can he manage to help the team win without getting his mom fired? Tense, dramatic, funny, and packed with great characters, it's no surprise that Tim Green's first children's novel was a New York Times Bestseller. Green, who played for the Atlanta Falcons himself, expertly narrates his tale of football, faith and family values, backed by a cast of voices that includes his son Troy and his daughter Tate, each playing characters they inspired.
