Bookroo's summary
Identical twins Michael and Tom Curtis share a passion for football, but a tragic accident sidelines Michael. During a game, Michael envisions a play, and Tom executes it instantly. Is it mere coincidence, or do they possess ESP? As they test their telepathic bond, the impossible happens—Michael finds himself on the field, scoring a breathtaking touchdown. Can their newfound connection alter their destiny, or will it unravel under pressure?
From the publisher
Michael and Tom Curtis are identical twins who share a love of football. Unfortunately, because of a tragic accident, Michael must watch from the sidelines as his brother calls the plays on the football field. During one game Michael concentrates very hard on a play he think could help the team, and Tom calls the exact play a split second later! Is it coincidence, or can the boys communicate through ESP? The boys try a daring experiment in which they push their telepathic powers to the limit…and suddenly, impossibly, Michael is running the ball for a spectacular touchdown!
