Crackback by John Coy

The book Crackback is about a teenage boy who is a sophmore named Miles Manning who plays football at Confluence High School. Miles is one of the star players on his team and is the starting cornerback. Football is very important activity in Miles life. Miles doesnt really have a good relationship with his father. Miles causes him team to lose a game. This cause Miles to lose his starting position. Most of Miles friends play on his football team and some of his good friends try to do steroids and Miles says he doesnt wanna do them. Even though Miles is very small for his age he still doesnt wanna do steroids because it will ruin his whole life. Miles also meets a girl named Lucia and becomes very close to her. I would recommend this book for students in grades 6th through 11.
