Football Genius

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Reviewed By:Shark

I liked Football Genius because there is a lot of football in it and I like football a lot also. It is about a boy named Troy, who can basically see any football play and say it and is always correct. Any team, any player, except during the preseason (which is before the regular season and has 5-6 weeks in it). But, when Troy decides to help the Atlanta Falcons when his mom gets a job with the team, things don’t exactly turn up in roses. The defensive coach,Coach Krock,is the worst defensive coach ever. He is mean and probably is never happy or nice. He has two friends to help him out. One is Tate(a girl) and Nathan (a boy).
Find out what happens to thirteen-year-old Troy and his friends in Football Genius.
Oh, by the way, this book is written by a real football player!

I like Magic Tree House because after I read the first one (even though I felt like not reading them at first until my mom read to me) I started liking them. My favorites are: Knight Before Dawn, Tigers Before Twilight, Buffalo Before Breakfast, Viking Ships Before Sunrise, Dolphins Before Daybreak, Ghost Town Before Sundown, Night Of The Ninjas, Afternoon On the Amazon, Hour Of The Olympics, Sunset Of The Sabertooth, Midnight On The Moon, Revolutionary War On Wednesday, Civil War On Sunday,Polar Bears Past Bedtime, and Dingos Before Dinnertime.
The main characters are Jack and Annie, brother and sister, who find the Magic Tree House, which takes them to different times and places they see in a book, and have missions on their adventures. When you read these books, the series are in sets of 4 books that go together. I always learn something new and true when I read these books, and I’ve read them all so now I know a lot of stuff.Shark
