Cracking the bell
(Book)

While recovering from a game-related concussion, football star Isaiah wonders what his life would be like without the game.

Football saved Isaiah's life, giving him structure and discipline after his sister's death tore his family apart. When he suffers a concussion on the field, Isaiah wonders what his life would look without football. All his friends are on the team, and Isaiah knows they can't win without him. There's also the scholarship offer from Cornell, which is only on the table if he keeps playing. And without football, what would keep his family together? Now Isaiah must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice for the sport that gave him everything, even if playing football threatens to take away his future. -- adapted from jacket
