What's Switch Play! About

Publisher Summary

KEYNOTE The ninth entry in Matt Christopher’s SOCCER ‘CATS features fullback Ted Gaddy. DESCRIPTION Ted Gaddy is tired of his sister’s amazing “secret weapon” throw-in getting all the applause and attention during games. But what can a fullback do to make people cheer? Then Coach Bradley tells a story of a fullback who almost made a goal. Ted learns how to do the same thing that fullback did, hoping that he, too, will get a chance at scoring. But is his sister trying to keep him from carrying out his plan?
