His dad was going to take money from him so he could give it to some of his friends who needed money. His mom and Troy do not approve of this so luckily they stop him succeeding in it.

Evenet 9 Faclons
Troy helps out the Falcons to win games. He leads them to playoffs. The team really relies on Troy to make the right calls and not mess up.

Then the Falcons play the Packers and in the 4 quarter he does not make the right call and ends up losing the game for them. The whole team is disappointed, but still appreciates him. It reminded me of when I missed a buzzer beater to win the championship for my team and I felt bad -
Event 10 the big game
The big game is coming up and Troy still has a lot of things on his mind. Luckily his friends, which are Seth, Tate, and Nathan, help him get into game mode so they can beat the Florida team. Both of the teams were toe to toe the entire game, but when the game got to the end Troy’s team was

Event 12 Conclusion
I thought this book was a great book and i rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is very believable because it the issues Troy goes through are relatable but what causes them do not
