Twelve-year-old Ryan inherits ownership of the Dallas Cowboys following his father's death. Legal battles ensue as Ryan and his stepbrother fight for controlling interest of the franchise; they end up resolving their differences on the football field. Accessible text alternates between "Present" and "Years Earlier" to tell the story. Although highly implausible, this fast-paced book will appeal to young football fans.
