I just finished reading Kickoff by Tiki and Ronde Barber. This book has 176 pages. The book started out with two brothers that are best friends. They would do everything together. There were also football superstars on there team. It was almost time to start there first year at middle school as seventh graders. The night before they got the paper that tells you all your classes. And they had no classes together. They were so mad but there mom said they need to start getting used to being with each other all the time. On the first day of school it was football tryouts. There middle school football team name was the Eagles. So after there long first day of school was over they went to football tryouts. Then they went into the locker room to get ready. After they got ready they ran out and started the tryouts. They did drills, sprints, laps, and scrimmages. Then next week the paper came out to see what position you were and what string you were. Tiki and Ronde were scared to see what they got. But they went up to the board to see that they got third string witch is the worst string you can get. They were so mad that they got third string. They went home and told there mom and she said well you both will get your chance to shine I know you will. There first game was today on Saturday. So the got suited up for the game. Tiki and Ronde sat on the bench for the whole game. And they sat on the bench for the next three games to. But for the championship there kick return and there running back got hurt and Ronde and Tiki went in. And on the first kickoff return Ronde ran it all the way for a touchdown. Then on there next drive Tiki scored a touchdown and the eagles won 14-0. I give this book 9 out of 10 because it was inspiring to never give up.
