This funny, poignant book tells the story of arrogant seventh grade football sensation, Crash Coogan, who seems to have it all. Intolerant and small-minded Crash constantly bullies Penn Webb, a nerdy Quaker boy with a healthy sense of self. When Crash’s grandfather suffers a stroke, an unlikely friendship develops, and Crash realizes that there is more to life than cool clothes and being a super jock. In a triumphant ending, Crash demonstrates his new found priorities in an amazing act of loyalty and friendship.
This book teaches readers about the truly important priorities in life as we watch Crash evolve from a selfish bully to an understanding young man.
