(2) YA Arlo Brodie makes varsity football, plays like a man possessed, and becomes a god on the gridiron. An alarmingly high hit count, or number of hard blows to his head, forces the coach to bench him--but by now Arlo's addicted to the adulation, the workouts, and the thrill. A thought-provoking, unflinching examination of the price of athletic power, with bone-crunching play-by-play action.
