Strengths: Once again, Deuker slam dunks a novel. But what will the effect be on the new player? This story will keep readers guessing until the end. When the two uncover a possible big story about a new football player, they hope that breaking the story will help them with their college plans. He throws himself into his assignment as a sports reporter for the school paper, especially when it means spending a lot of time with Kimi, who does photography and is determined to get into an Ivy League college. Life is full of little disappointments- he isn't made newspaper editor, he's overweight, and girls aren't interested in him. Dan "Mitch" (as in Michelin Man) True is getting by.
