Football Genius

Troy White has a secret talent: the ability to watch several football plays then predict what each team will do next. His mom, Tessa, knows his secret, but doesn't take it seriously. Nobody does, until Tessa gets a job with the Atlanta Falcons and Troy convinces star wide-receiver Seth Halloway to take a chance on letting him help change the fate of his losing team.

Ty Lewis is elated when the school coach recruits him for the football team. Unfortunately, Ty's uncle Gus-his guardian since the death of Ty's parents-insists the boy has no time for sports. He has to earn his keep by scrubbing toilets for Gus's cleaning service. Ty's only relief comes in his too-rare visits with his brother Thane, a college football star headed for the NFL. But when one of Gus's clients, who happens to be the local mob boss, finds out how famous Thane is, things spiral out of control.

Football Genius Troy White is back in a new adventure that mixes NFL thrills with high-stakes junior high games made just as exciting by the storytelling power of bestselling author Tim Green.

Powerfully charged from start to finish, this is an amazing portrayal of Troy's struggle to make his lifetime dreams of being with his father come true. Filled with pageturning excitement as a highstakes deal increases the clash of family tension, The Big Time is an unforgettable experience.
