(3) YA Middle-school quarterback Travis Gardner, whose older brother Carter plays for Gainesville University, thinks he's made it when Gainesville's football coach offers him a scholarship to play for him in five years. As a publicity frenzy follows, Travis becomes less concerned with being a good teammate. Volponi's appealing cautionary tale ably broadens Travis's first-person narrative with occasional "Carter's Take" interludes, tweets, and newspaper articles.
