Description

A high school athlete must choose between track and football in this novel-perfect for fans of Mike Lupica and Tim Green-by the author of Perfect Game. Ninth-grader Tim Beeman is eager to find his place at his elite new school. When he breaks the record for the fifty-yard dash during the first week of classes, he reveals his special talent: speed. Before long, the track and football teams are both urging him to join their ranks. But where will he feel most comfortable, and be able to put his running skills to best use? Tim is torn. He would definitely be an asset to the track team, but he's drawn to the more prestigious football program. He's eager to join such a popular group and feels he has a lot to offer them, but he can't shake a lingering fear of being injured. How can Tim make the most of his talents and at the same time satisfy his own needs? In Speed Demon, Fred Bowen, author and Washington Post KidsPost sports columnist, tackles relatable dual-athlete issues like making choices and maintaining friendships, meanwhile offering a serious exploration of the topic of player safety.
