Teddy, a young football player, learns that sometimes bridging the
distance in your family can be harder than stretching for an extra yard
on the field in the second book of the Home Team series fromNew York Times
bestselling author and sportswriting legend Mike Lupica.
Last spring Teddy’s life changed for the better. He started working out,
shaping up, and even earned a spot on the Walton baseball team, and
with the team he went all the way to the Little League World Series. But
the best things to come out of that season
were his friendships with Jack, Cassie, and Gus, and the confidence to
finally try out for the sport he really loves—football. So when eighth
grade begins, Teddy couldn’t be more psyched.
Until his mom drops a bomb: his father—who left them a long time ago—is
back in Walton and back in their lives. And Teddy isn’t happy about it.
As a former star football player at the school, Teddy’s dad is thrilled
to find out his son is going out for the
team, but Teddy begins to wonder if his father only cares about him now
because he’s putting on the helmet. Can Teddy find a way to go the
extra yard for the team and for himself, or is the distance between him
and his father too much to overcome?
