From award-winning novelist Carl Deuker comes a gritty,
heart-wrenching story about high school football, self-acceptance,
and the pressures that come with being the best at any cost. "Look,
Mick," he said, "you're going to find out from somebody in the gym,
so you might as well find out from me. Those supplements you're
taking? They might get you a little bigger, but just a little. If
you're after serious results, there's other stuff that produces
better results much faster, stuff that a lot of guys in the gym
use." "What other stuff?" "You know what I'm talking about--gym
candy." Running back Mick Johnson has dreams: dreams of cutting
back, finding the hole, breaking into the open, and running free
with nothing but green grass ahead. He has dreams of winning and of
being the best. But football is a cruel sport. It requires power,
grace, speed, quickness, and knowledge of the game. It takes luck,
too. One crazy bounce can turn a likely victory into sudden defeat.
What elite athlete wouldn't look for an edge? A way to make him
bigger, stronger, faster? This novel explores the dark corners of
the heart of a young football player as he struggles for success
under the always glaring--and often unforgiving--stadium lights.
