Bookroo's summary

Terry's world shifts when his brother Nicky, born with Down's syndrome, unexpectedly joins the football team as his competition. As Terry grapples with his own position change from defensive safety to offensive tackle, he must navigate the challenges of sibling rivalry and personal growth. Can Terry adapt to his new role and embrace the unexpected competition from his brother, or will the pressure fracture their bond? This story explores the dynamics of family, sportsmanship, and the surprising ways we find strength in one another.
