About this ebook

Through the eyes of a distinctly non-athletic protagonist—a fat high school journalist named Mitch—veteran sports novelist Deuker reveals the surprising truth behind a mysterious football player named Angel.  When Angel shows up Lincoln High, he seems to have no past—or at least not one he is willing to discuss.  Though Mitch gets a glimpse of Angel's incredible talent off the field, Angel rarely allows himself to shine on the field.  Is he an undercover cop, wonders Mitch?  Or an ineligible player?  In pursuit of a killer story, Mitch decides to find out just who this player is and what he's done.  In the end, the truth surprises everyone.

Ratings and reviews

One of the best books I have read and u don't even like books at all so you should read it. It's really funny to its a little long, but it's worth it an it has total twist at the end.

I don't really read much but this book made me want to read more and I live the story line and everything

Like he wants to be a newsrepoter that's why think its a good book
