Bookroo's summary

Mack McGinn comes from a family of winners: a football-hero grandfather, a soccer-star dad and an older brother with a shelf full of trophies. Now at middle school, Mack is getting faster and taking tips from his best friend's dad, a top soccer coach. If he can stay focused on the track, avoid the creepy neighbor and survive his brother, he might make his family proud on Danville Day.

From the publisher

Mack McGinn comes from a long line of winners: Gramp, the football hero; Dad, the (almost) Olympic soccer star; and Mack’s older brother, Rory, who has enough trophies to start his own hall of fame. After Mack joins Rory at Danville Middle School, his own jock stock is starting to rise. Mack is running faster, getting stronger, and taking tips from his best friend Digger’s dad, who might be the greatest soccer coach in the whole state. And if Mack can just steer clear of creepy Pope Banker next door, convince his mom that Digger’s a good kid, keep his concentration on the track, and manage not to strangle Rory before Danville Day, he might make his family prouder than any eleven-year-old athlete ever dreamed possible.
