Football Hero by Tim Green
This is a great book about a boy named Ty who has an older brother name Thane that plays NFL football. Ty is a very lanky boy who lives with his uncle and his aunt. He goes to a new school and tries out for the football team and he makes the team. He is actually one of the best players on the team, next to Calvin. The coach is basically in love with Ty. Thane winds up with a knee injury and almost looses his career, but he doesn't. Does Ty get to start? Does Thane get better? To answer these questions you will have to read the book and find out.Blind Side: The Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis
This book is about a young boy who is raised in the poor part of Memphis with a mother who is addicted to drugs. As he struggles to find food and shelter, he finds Big Mike. Big Mike enrolls him and his own son in a private Christian school. After a few weeks of sleeping in the school gym overnight, a weathly family invites him to sleep in their house for a night. They grow fond of him and soon adopt him. He soon finds his strength, football. By the 12th grade, he is 6'4", 350 lbs., and is very quick on his feet. He becomes a high star recruit at left tackle. As the story goes on the author, Michael Lewis, twists Michael Ohre's story with how important the left tackle became over the years: protecting the blind side of the quarterback.

Joe Montana: Comeback Quarterback by Thomas R. Raber
In the beginning of the book, Joe Montana is just a little boy who loves football, even when he was a little kid Joe played football. A little while down the road Joe gets tired of football and almost quits on football for boy scouts! Of course, Joe went with football and became a three time Super Bowl winning quarterback. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to write a biography on Joe Montana or just wants to read a good sports book.

Kicking the Football by Bill Renner
Kicking the Football by Bill Renner
Kicking the Football is a very good guide that gives you all the steps on how to be a wonderful kicker. Also it grabs you and makes you want to speed through the pages and get just to the drills and the place kicking section. The book also guides you through a great journey to be the best kicker you can. It brings you all the info and drills you can use to practice and get better. Even though you may think it is boring at the beginning, this great book will help you. Finally, the more drills you practice, the better you will improve.

Football Genius by Tim Green

Football Genius, by Tim Green, is the best book I have ever read. It is about a boy named Troy, and he has these powers which allow him to predict football plays before they happen. His mom works for the Atlanta Falcon. The author of the book, Tim Green, also played defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons a long time ago. Troy has two friends named Beth and Ty. They are like family to him. Since Troy's mom works with the Falcons, she convinces the coach to let Troy help coach the team, and they let him and he does a good job with all of that responsibility.
