Do you believe some people can see the future? In this book written by former NFL player Tim Green, twelve-year-od Troy can see future football plays. This can help his favorite team, The Atlanta Falcons, win games. There are so many obstacles. No one will listen to him, at first. A really mean assistant coach for the Falcons, Coach Krock,is determined to stand in Troy’s way. After his mother is almost fired from her PR job with the team, she doesn’t want him to talk to the players or the coach. He has other problems too. His father left his mother before he was born, and he misses having a father. The coach of his junior varsity team only plays his son as quarterback. He doesn’t give Troy a chance, even though he is a much better quarterback. What trouble is Troy willing to risk in order to prove himself as a football genius?
