Love of the Game
Middle school is full of new challenges for Jackson, Gig, Isaac, and Diego, four sports-loving friends who have always stuck together. Lockers that won’t open, older (and bigger) kids, classes that are far apart, tons of homework—there’s a lot to get used to.
One thing the boys are looking forward to, however, is making the football team. Not every one will get what he wants, though, on the field and at home.

'4 for 4' is a series about four friends who are nuts about sports and the challenges they face on and off the field. Jackson, Gig, Isaac, and Diego, are four very different, sports-loving boys, dealing with family, friends, school—and sports. The series spans the time from the spring of their fifth-grade year, through the summer, and then into middle school (Year 6). Each book focuses on a different sport: baseball, soccer, football, and basketball.
Author John Coy takes readers into the hearts and minds of 5th grade boys, with plenty of sports action that's sure to keep even the most reluctant readers turning the pages.
