Bookroo's summary

Ben Paulson, content as the backup quarterback, is thrust into the spotlight when the Hawks' star player is suspended. As the team's performance falters, Ben shoulders the blame. A potential fix for his passing woes emerges, but is it the right choice? With the team's success hanging in the balance, Ben must decide whether to take a risky chance or find another way to prove himself. Will he rise to the occasion or crumble under pressure?

From the publisher

As the backup quarterback for the Hawks, Ben Paulson is happy to ride the bench and hang out with his teammates on the sidelines. But everything changes when the Hawks’ star quarterback, Wes Blake, gets suspended for pulling poor grades in math. With Ben at the helm, the offense starts to stall, and his teammates place the blame squarely on his shoulders. Soon after, a possible solution to Ben’s passing problems reveals itself – but he’s not so sure it’s the right answer.
