The Franklin High Panthers need a new quarterback.
Freshman Jesse Wagner knows the plays, but he feels he is too small to
be QB material. Jesse's brother Jay has a problem of his own: his
college coach wants him to switch from quarterback to safety. The
brothers agree on a deal: Jesse will try out for quarterback, and Jay
will try playing safety.
Meanwhile, Jesse and his teammates recruit an unlikely kicker for their
team―a girl named Savannah who is a goalie from the girls' soccer team.
In the afterword, Bowen provides real stories of successful professional
athletes, like Pro Football Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton, who did not
look the part.
