The book that I am recommending is Knights of the Hill Country. This is written by Tim Tharp. It is about a kid named Hampton Green.He is the Knights allstar linebacker. He is in on just about evey play on defense. He feels like he can stop time. Him and his team are working on their fifth straight winning season. If they finish the season off without getting beat they will be legends. They are facing many challenges along the way including great football teams and other personal conflicts. Read to find out if they become legends or if they fall short.
I liked this book because it gave good detail and kept me wanting to read more. A quote that stuck out to me was, “Dirty gets dirty back.” I liked this quote because in football even though you think you got away with it, you might not see the next one coming. A quote from Kirkus review was, “This intriguing work demands an audience.” A quote from the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s book said,”Hamp musters the sense and confidence to muddle his way through, and for that the readers can raise a cheer.” The recomended reading age is 12 and up. Peope who bought this book also bought, Payback Time, Crackback, Heart of a Champion, and many others.
