Balancing priorities presents a challenge in this heartwarming novel
about teamwork and perseverance from NFL superstars and bestselling
authors Tiki and Ronde Barber.
Tiki and Ronde have grown a lot during the spring and summer. At the
start of ninth grade, they're not only wiser and more mature, but
they're also taller and stronger--with bigger muscles and bigger hands
to grab and hold the ball. Factor in the return of their beloved Coach
Wheeler, and the boys couldn't be readier for football season.
But when Tiki wins an essay contest and gives an inspirational speech in
front of the whole school, he becomes sought after for guidance and
advice. The school paper even wants him to do a Dear Tiki column!
However, Tiki would prefer to make his mark on the field--and with the
Eagles starting 4-0 and a perfect season in sight, he'll have to put a
lid on his advice column and concentrate on football.
