Talented and tough, eleven-year-old Pop Warner football player Ben McBain dreams of being quarterback of his team--but he's short. As the season wears on and quarterback Shawn (the coach's son) flounders, Ben proves he's ultimately the right guy for the position. This story of football, friendship, and being true to oneself is full of satisfying sports detail.
