(4) 4-6 Wyatt, an awkward, bullied eighth grader, hopes that playing football will earn him some respect. When his parents refuse to let him join the team, Wyatt's older brother Aaron makes him an offer: he can play for the underground "League of Pain," but he must maintain their secrecy. Although a little didactic, this is a solid read for middle-school reluctant readers, particularly those interested in football.
