| Hmmm.
Three clams and an oyster. What an interesting title! Does
anyone have any idea what this book is about? Well, I certainly couldn't
have guessed by the title that it is about a four-on-four flag football
team. The three clams have been best friends since first grade and
teammates since fifth. Cade, the oyster, was an alternate who played
when needed. Until that day just before 9th grade when the original
oyster, Glen, was killed in a freak accident. And now the boys are
in 11th grade and facing yet another change in the team. Cade has
become very distant. He is into drinking and drugs and doesn't care
about the team. So the clams face finding a new oyster or being kicked
out of the league. Should the boys try to help Cade or cut him loose.
