Thirteen-year-old Teddy Youngblood is in a coma fighting for his life after an unspecified football injury at training camp. Was this an inevitable result of playing a violent sport, or was something more sinister happening on the field that day . . . ?
Told in an innovative multi-media format combining dialogue, texts, newspaper articles, interview transcripts, an online forum, and Teddy's inner thoughts, Game Changer explores the joyous thrills and terrifying risks of one of North America's favourite sports.
“A must-buy for libraries looking for innovative narratives for sports fans. Readers who enjoy Tim Green, Mike Lupica, and Kwame Alexander will want to pick Game Changer up.” -- School Library Journal
