(4) 4-6 With Paul Mantell. In their third story, twins Ronde and Tiki's eighth-grade football season looks bright--until their team's star kicker is placed on academic probation. Despite the Eagles' struggles, the team makes the playoffs, and the siblings (and future NFL stars) learn valuable lessons about overcoming obstacles. Young football fans will find the story appealing, despite some stilted dialogue.
