(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. This sequel to Kickoff! finds eighth graders Tiki and Ronde playing on their middle-school football team. The dialogue doesn't always ring true ("Yo, gentlemen!... What's shakin'?"), but the team's challenges are realistic, including the departure of a beloved coach. Loosely based on the NFL stars' childhoods, the Barber twins' story emphasizes the importance of teamwork and a positive attitude.
