Agony and Defeat  Review for: Football Nightmare  Author: Matt Christopher  Review by: Cole

“All eyes were on me as the possibly game winning pass was thrown towards me.” This intriguing line is from Football Nightmare by Matt Christopher. His books are great for young readers trying to develop an enjoyment for reading of any age. Mainly made for ages 8 and up. Football nightmare is greatly rated by readers. With interesting characters and an exciting plot, you get hooked from the first page! Furthermore, this can be enjoyed by sports fans of any age. Keith Stedman will remind you of times of struggle and disadvantages in your life.

Christopher expertly planned what his characters did. He made one character the main one while the others kind of circle around him. The main character was Keith stedman. The less important characters like, Heck, Cody, coach, larry, and Keith’s family. Which I think is a common strategy between authors but, still makes it very interesting.

In this book there are many climaxes. for example, 5 pages in You read about Keith dropping a game winning pass in the championship. With so many climaxes it makes it very interesting. With a very unexpected resolution in the end. It brings it all together, the resolution like the glue holding it all together.

Matt christopher being an author of sports books for kids has won awards. Like, the Milner and Junior book awards. “Great books to get kids interested in reading.” -amazon “He is a great author for all ages.”-amazon All in all Christopher is a great author. Overall he is one of my favorite authors.

Finally, this book is great. A challenging story for young readers but teaches a nice lesson. It’s one of my favorite books of all time. And many more from him to come. To sum up, Matt Christopher makes books for all ages, but this is one of his best.
