Publisher Description: Ty Lewis is elated when the school coach recruits him for the football team. Unfortunately, Ty's uncle Gus--his guardian since the death of Ty's parents--insists the boy has no time for sports. He has to earn his keep by scrubbing toilets for Gus's cleaning service. Ty's only relief comes in his too-rare visits with his brother Thane, a college football star headed for the NFL. But when one of Gus's clients, who happens to be the local mob boss, finds out how famous Thane is, things spiral out of control. |
Contributor Bio(s): Green, Tim: - Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping adult books as the New York Times bestselling The Dark Side of the Game and American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR. His first book for young readers, football genius, inspired in part by his players and kids he's met while reading in classrooms, became a New York Times bestseller and was followed by Football Hero, Football Champ, The Big Time, and now Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for Rivals and for two more New York Times bestsellers: Baseball Great and Best of the Best. Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York. |
