Deaf seventh grader Landon has always faced bullying, but as the biggest kid in his new school, he has high hopes for playing football. Despite difficulties, Landon's strong will and the friendship of a star player help him earn his peers' respect. The writing is overtly messagey, but readers will cheer as likable Landon fights to fit in--and succeeds.
