Football Hero
Football Genius: Book 2
by Tim Green
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.

Reviews:
“With plenty of dialogue and plot twists, former NFL player Tim Green’s latest novel works well as a full-cast interpretation … Lanny Freshman’s reading makes Uncle Gus appropriately dislikable, and Bryce Humphrey brings out Ty’s vulnerability and likableness. Thane’s voice has a cocky assuredness and warmer tones when he interacts with younger brother Ty. Acting as principal narrator, Green’s reading keeps pace with the action.” — Booklist, January 1, 2010
“Author Tim Green skillfully narrates his fast-moving sports thriller along with a full cast of excellent voice actors. As a former NFL star, Green knows exactly how to convey the game’s excitement and suspense. Fans of sports stories and thrillers will enjoy this action-packed tale.” — School Library Journal, March, 2010
“As a college and NFL football player, Tim Green dished out a lot of hard hits. As an author and narrator, Green utilizes his mighty pen and vocal skills to create a hard-hitting, heartfelt masterpiece. … Listeners will be mesmerized by this production and the way that every actor takes command of each scene.” Earphones Award — Audiofile Magazine, January, 2010
