This third book about perseverance and teamwork by twin NFL players focuses on young Tiki's struggles with ball carrying. Tiki's improved skill, honed by extra practice time with Ronde, is on full display during a winning play against their archrivals. The golden tones of the watercolor and gouache paintings nicely reflect football season, but their composition is stiff.
