The Franchise

by Brent Chartier, Patrick Jones

Overview

Latrell Baker's scientific approach to football—watching football—has finally paid off. Harmon Holt heard about the algorithm he developed for determining best defensive play, and now Latrell's landed himself an internship with the NFL's LA Stars. But he'll soon discover that working in pro football involves more politics and secrets than science.

Editorial Reviews

"Aimed at reluctant readers and using short chapters, an enticing plot, and an admirable protagonist, this is a provocative, ethically satisfying glimpse of the gritty underside of professional football." —Booklist
