(3) 4-6 When Tommy Gallagher's firefighter father dies on duty, Tommy is told he's "the man of the house now"; not an easy duty for a middle schooler. Tommy turns to football, a love of his father's, yet struggles when the sport provides no easy answers. The setting is bolstered by Lupica's Boston sports references; realistic play-by-play action and dramatic family conflict are expertly balanced.
