Tony Romo's place in NFL history is a surprising story, one that
Jorge and Raquel Iber tell from its unlikely origins to its happy
present in clear language for middle readers. Tony's grandfather
was a migrant worker who emigrated from Mexico to Wisconsin, where
he and his Texas-born Mexican American spouse fought hardscrabble
for a middle-class life. Readers will learn about a Latino/a
community's struggles and triumphs in this unlikely midwestern
enclave. Unlike other future superstar quarterbacks, Tony didn't
get to play for a large city high school team. He was barely
noticed by college recruiters, and his only real path to the next
level came at a small school, Eastern Illinois University. At EIU,
Tony fought his way to become the starting quarterback. The story
repeated itself in the NFL, when Tony battled his way from
undrafted prospect all the way to All-Pro starting quarterback for
the most famous NFL franchise in the world, the Dallas Cowboys. A
must-read for young Cowboy fans and their parents, Jorge and
Raquel's book places Tony's life story among other famous figures
in contemporary American sports. Relive Tony's career, his
difficulties and successes. Tony is the quintessential Texas Sport
Hero.
