Critics Review
Kirkus review, August 2014:“A cliffhanger of a football novel bristling with social, personal, familial and ethical issues to complement the gridiron action…. All the goods for the sports enthusiast—and more.” Publishers Weekly review, August 2014:”[With] lots of play-by-play action, sensational plot developments, and an attractive, whip-smart, sports-crazy romantic interest … Feinstein skillfully captures the mania that surrounds high school football.”VOYA review, October 2014:“The action is lively and well paced, with increasing tension as the team advances to single-elimination play-off games.”
