Descriere magazin:
The best writer of sports books in America today ( The Boston Globe ) tells a thrilling story of friendship, football, and a fight for justice. Renowned sports journalist and New York Times- bestselling author John Feinstein\'s young adult novel Backfield Boys follows best friends and football stars Jason Roddin and Tom Jefferson, a perfect, though unconventional, pair: Jason, the Jewish kid, is lightning fast and a natural wide-receiver, while African-American Tom has an amazing arm and a quarterback\'s feel for the game. After summer football camp at an elite sports-focused boarding school, the boys are thrilled to enroll on scholarship for their freshman year--despite their mothers\' fears of injury and especially CTE. On day one, they\'re stunned when the coaches make Tom a receiver and Jason a quarterback, a complete contradiction to their skill sets and training. Suspecting deep-seated racial bias, the boys speak out, risking both their scholarships and their chance to play. Soon local newspaper reports begin a secret investigation, and as tensions rise Jason and Tom must decide how much they\'re willing to lose in their quest to expose the ugly remnants of a racist past that still linger in contemporary jock culture. Praise for Backfield Boys : An intriguing look at racism in contemporary sports and the power private schools have in shaping sports and upholding racist traditions. -- Booklist A strong football hook will draw in most sports fans . . . The boys\' driving quest for the truth will keep readers engaged. --School Library Journal Over the years, John Feinstein has built a career covering many aspects of athletics as a sportswriter, author, and media commentator.

The end product is a fast-paced, reflective, well-written book that simultaneously entertains and challenges its readers. -- Children\'s Literature
