The main lesson in this stunning book is to never give up. Never give up is the main lesson in this epic novel because when Chris was doing math with Scott he wanted to give up. Scott knew that Chris would not pass the test if he didn´t work his hardest. Since Scott knew Chris needed to work hard he forced Chris to keep on trying. Later in the book Chris started to understand that he had to pass the test for his football team and himself. Chris worked his tail off for the football team and him. Finally, Chris learned to never give up because it will pay off in the end. I´d rate this fantastic book a 10 out of 10 and the beautiful illustrations a 8 out 10. I really recommend this stunning novel because it is a great story and very interesting. One unanswered question I like to ask the football team is ¨how did Jimmy hurt affect the way you guys played.

Chris Conlan is the coolest kid in sixth grade–the golden-armed quarterback of the football team, and the boy all the others look up to. Scott Parry is the new kid, the boy with the huge brain, but with feet that trip over themselves daily. These two boys may seem like an odd couple, but each has a secret that draws them together as friends, and proves that the will to succeed is even more important than raw talent.
Mike Lupica scores from downtown with his Comeback Kids series.
Praise for the Comeback Kids:
“Lupica portrays the action clearly and vividly, with a real sense of the excitement and unpredictable nature of the games. These are worthy additions to collections seeking to draw in middle-grade boys with an enthusiasm for athletics.” –School Library Journal
“These should score big with middle-graders looking for alternatives to Matt Christopher's titles.” –Publisher’s Weekly
“This title is a good choice for reluctant readers with a background in baseball.” –School Library Journal
