Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 5 Up-If readers are indeed ready for some football, this series is for them. Covering nearly every aspect of the game from high school to professional gridiron (as well as armchair quarterback territory), these books look at topics both clean and gritty in the wide world of football. Each chapter ends with text-dependent questions that allow readers to reflect back on what they've learned, as well as further research opportunities that prompt them to dig deeper. The timeliest topics, Football and Player Safety and Pro Football Players in the News, don't shy away from the recent concussion and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) controversy. While the writing isn't always stunning, it is well informed. VERDICT A solid buy. © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
