(3) 4-6 Following a Little League World Series appearance, the friends from The Only Game focus on eighth grade and football. Teddy's been training hard, and things are looking great--until his absentee father unexpectedly returns. Then Jack's injury moves Teddy to quarterback, a position his father played. Lupica's game-day details never fail, but Teddy's complex relationship with his father is the novel's emotional focus.
