Book Overview
Rocky Fletcher is being stretched to his limit. Until recently, he'd only played wide receiver for the Pythons. Now his coaches want him to learn the safety position, too-a position that opened up when Bobby, Rocky's best friend, broke his leg. Even though he believes he is to blame for Bobby's injury, Rocky eagerly takes on the challenge of becoming a two-way player. After all, the only other player available is Jared, a sullen boy who switched from soccer to football this season. Yet as time goes on, it's Jared who excels at the position because, thanks to Bobby, Rocky keeps missing practices What's going on between Rocky and Bobby-and why is Jared on the team when he clearly dislikes football so much? Football Double Threat combines the action and excitement of football with relatable issues about envy, loyalty, and friendship.

The Review of an Eleven Year Old
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I thought that this was a very good book. It teaches young kids honesty and the meaning of freidship without it seeming like it. I think it is a great book for all those 10-14 year olds out there.
Very Good Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought two copies of this book to read with my 11 y/o 5th grade son, to encourage him to read more and to check his comprehension. We both enjoyed the book. It was exciting enough to hold his attention with enough accurate details to allow me to check and also improve his comprehension. We highly recommend Matt Christopher books for young men.
