Book Overview

Inspired by the childhood of NFL superstars Tiki and Ronde Barber, this middle grade novel is a story of teamwork, perseverance, and what it takes to be a champion.

"Hut! Hut! Go long, Tiki!"

Tiki and Ronde's twelfth summer is winding down--the nights are getting shorter and the evenings cooler. That means two things: The first day of junior high is just a few days away, and it's almost the start of football season at last. With two championships and an 8-2 season last year, Tiki and Ronde are ready to graduate from the Peewee League and hit the field as starting players for the Hidden Valley Eagles.

But junior high is a lot bigger than elementary school. The competition for starting spots is stiff, and seniority rules. If Tiki and Ronde make it past tryouts and cuts, will they get the chance to play, or will they have to spend the season watching from the bench with the other seventh graders?

Good Read

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 28, 2009

My son loves football but the story seemed slow to him when he was reading it. He definitely loves football and this was good for him. Especially since he needs to read more. It is not hard to get him to play football but it is to read. This makes it easier for him to read more.

Kickoff

My grandson is not really a child who enjoys reading, however, after seeing Tiki Barber and his brothers interview on the Today show I immediately purchsed this book. Now I am not going to tell you he now reads everything but it did spark an interest, he completed the book and has asked for other's in the series. The challenge here was finding something which caught his interest, as with any child, find something they like...

Great Book!

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 13, 2008

I bought this book for my Third Grade son last week at his book fair. He will finish it today! I have never seen him read a book so quickly or be so enthusiastic. We were thrilled to find today that there is also a new book out and can't wait to buy that one too. This book is definitely a hit at our house!

Great story - Better message.

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 25, 2007

This is the first chapter book for kids by Tiki and Ronde Barber. I started getting Tiki and Ronde's fine picture books for my son because he saw Tiki and Ronde speaking about it on MNF. They are quality stories with excellent messages for kids. Tiki and Ronde are role models that a parent can embrace for their character, which is something I am always struggling with when I find sports related books for my son.
