"Absolutely heroic, and something every guy should read." ( National Ambassador for Young People's Literature emeritus Jon Scieszka)
If anyone understands the phrase "tough luck," it's Harrison. As a foster kid in a cruel home, he knows his dream of one day playing in the NFL is a long shot.
Then Harrison is brought into a new home with kind, loving parents—his new dad is even a football coach. Harrison's big build and his incredible determination quickly make him a star running back on the junior high school team.
On the field, he's practically unstoppable. But Harrison's good luck can't last forever. When a routine sports injury leads to a devastating diagnosis, it will take every ounce of Harrison's determination not to give up for good.

AMAZING!!! It is about this foster boy that lives with a family that doesn't treat him right. He has to do farm work, house work and doesn't get to go to school. He has always had a passion for football though. but his foster dad doesn't let him play it or watch it. One day his foster dad whips him on the buckle side of a belt. Then the boy takes a pitch fork and stabs it into the dad's leg. People found out about this and he goes to kid jail for two weeks. Then he goes to a different family that takes care of him and love him and his new foster dad is a football coach. At his new school it's hard for him but he meets a girl that is really nice, he starts to make new friends, and he is kind of good at football. But just when things seem to get better he ends up with cancer. He loses his hair and one of his legs. At first he thought his life was ruined. But then he sees that things still can be good. This book is about strength, love, friendship, and passion. I really would recomend this book to anyone.
