The main thing about this book was a kid with an ear disability where he needed a custom helmet for his head cause a normal one wouldn’t fit him. He had hearing aids that went on his head and they needed clearance from a doctor and he did and got cleared. He started football everyone made fun of him but he kept pushing and made it through the practices and became very good at football that’s the main part of the story.

In my opinion this book was really good and shows why you should never give up and had a really good time reading it and just for the most part it was a good book and shows why you should always keep pushing .
