(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Ty Lewis finds himself embroiled in an illegal gambling scheme when his guardian convinces him to crib injury reports from his older brother, a rookie for the New York Jets. Soon Ty finds federal agents and mobsters interested in his information. The premise is a stretch, but the story is suspenseful and doesn't shy away from football's seamier side.
