by Tim Green

Football genius Troy White is back in a new adventure that mixes NFL thrills with high-stakes junior high games made just as exciting by the storytelling power of bestselling author Tim Green.

Troy and his pals Tate and Nathan are leading their team toward a possible state championship. At the same time Troy’s gift for predicting an opposing team’s plays is helping Seth Halloway lead the Falcons on a march toward glory. Then everything is endangered by a sleazy reporter with a grudge against Seth who will do anything to get a story.

Now it’s up to Troy and his friends to make things right. To do so will mean facing great danger and – even harder – making tough choices. Being a champ takes head and heart, Seth teaches Troy. Will Troy have enough of both to solve the mess he’s in the middle of?

Football Genius

by Tim Green

Troy White has a secret talent: the ability to watch several football plays then predict what each team will do next. His mom, Tessa, knows his secret, but doesn’t take it seriously. Nobody does, until Tessa gets a job with the Atlanta Falcons and Troy convinces star wide-receiver Seth Halloway to take a chance on letting him help change the fate of his losing team.

But can Troy perform under pressure? And even if he does, can he manage to help the team win without getting his mom fired? Tense, dramatic, funny, and packed with great characters, it’s no surprise that Tim Green’s first children’s novel was a New York Times Bestseller.

Green, who played for the Atlanta Falcons himself, expertly narrates his tale of football, faith and family values, backed by a cast of voices that includes his son Troy and his daughter Tate, each playing characters they inspired.

Ty Lewis is ecstatic when the school coach recruits him for the football team. Unfortunately, Ty’s Uncle Gus has other plans for him —namely, scrubbing toilets for Gus’s cleaning service.

Ty’s only relief from his oppressive uncle comes in the too-rare times he can spend with his big brother Thane, a college football star who’s headed for the NFL. But when Uncle Gus gets involved with the local mob boss, a man called “Lucy” and Lucy finds out how famous Thane is, things begin to spiral out of control.

As the tension ratchets up, Ty finds himself trapped in a dangerous web. The stakes are high, and one false move on Ty’s part could destroy his brother’s future.
