Booktalk #2
Linebacker Travis Cody prepares
for the final game in his football career in high school with the Oil Camp
Roughnecks. After losing once, he gets a rematch with Jerico Grooms
from the Pineview Pelicans in a playoff game for the state finals.
(read p. 205-206) "There is no in-between. I learned that fact
the hard way last spring and I chose to accept it. Crews taught me
what it takes to be one of his boys. It takes literally everything
you have. Once you've given that and given it unselfishly, you're
in. You're a roughneck." If you love football and want to read
a good book, then you should read ROUGHNECKS by Thomas Cochran. (Stephen
E., 8th grade student, Rundlett Middle School, Concord, New Hampshire)
