 * To begin, most people would say that if a 12 year old boy was coaching, that they wouldn’t win a single game. But in the book __Football Genius__ , Tim Green is completely different then what to be thought. Tim Green’s 5th - 8th grade book is “ as close as you can come to the NFL, without putting on the pads.” explains the Superbowl winning coach, Bill Parcells. The characters are very motivating and inspiring and these are a few reasons __Football Genius__  has many awards and also its jaw dropping climax that will leave you speechless. Now its up to you to decide to if it as amazing as everyone else thought. **


 * To start, Tim Greens characters are easy to connect with for anyone and he also makes them inspiring and motivating. Troy White is a very determined kid, Throughout the book his determination rubs off on everyone else when they are losing in football games. He’s also trustworthy which is remarkable considering his job for the football team. His actions are admirable because if he calls 1 bad call everyone would hate him. Also he’s amazing because he’s the star of his own football team too. People could easily be his friend because of his intelligence, motivation and inspiring. **


 * In addition, the plot just makes the whole story more exciting. It’s easy to connect with because it’s a steady base of action, you can tell when the climax is coming, the football game is coming to an end and what happens just makes the book more exciting for the rest of the story. This book is one where you just want to keep reading, you just want to see if Troy is going to win the game and send them to the playoffs. My favorite part is the climax because it is very surprising because no one would expect a boy is the mastermind behind the Falcons defence. The conflict is one where you got to think why did it happen and why does it matter, but its not the most memorable thing that happens. **
