YATexas Fridays series.
In this hi-lo series about high-school football players in Texas, each boy protagonist struggles with issues affecting his play, including concussions, pressure, and difficult family dynamics. The writing is pedestrian, but all three teenage characters are realistic, and their passion for the game carries them through their troubles. There are three other spring 2017 books in this series. Review covers these Texas Fridays titles: Dallas, El Paso, and San Antonio.
