Bookroo's summary

Juan, a former track star, faces a daunting challenge when he joins the football team in a new town. Struggling to catch and throw, he feels out of place, especially with a teammate making things difficult. As the season's biggest game looms, can Juan adapt and prove himself on the field?

From the publisher

Juan was a track star at his old school, so he’s not sure what to expect when he’s asked to join the football team in his new town. Right away, Juan thinks he’s made the wrong choice. He can’t catch, he can’t throw, and one of the members of the team hasn’t been making it easy for Juan to feel at home. Can the ex-track star learn his new sport in time for the biggest game of the season?
