Description
A mysterious football accident sends a high school reeling in Game Changer, an award-winning multimedia-format novel from Tommy Greenwald.
When high school football star Teddy Youngblood suffers a devastating injury that leaves him in a coma, the entire community is shaken. What begins as a tragic accident quickly unravels into a deeper mystery, as friends, teammates, and family members struggle to piece together what really happened on the field.
Told in an innovative multimedia format combining dialogue, texts, newspaper articles, interview transcripts, an online forum, and Teddy’s inner thoughts, Game Changer explores the joyous thrills and terrifying risks of America’s most popular sport.
Ideal for fans of realistic fiction, sports drama, Tim Green, Mike Lupica, and Kwame Alexander, this award-winning novel will also appeal to reluctant readers. With its innovative format and urgent themes, Game Changer stands out as a thought-provoking and unforgettable story that challenges readers to rethink what it means to be a team player.
“A must-buy for libraries looking for innovative narratives for sports fans.” —School Library Journal

A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"This nontraditional narrative, using conversations, interview transcripts, text messages, hospital reports, and other documents, skillfully peels back the elements of the mystery. The issues of football's violence are presented, but the book's real strength is the depiction of the culture behind it....The story will resonate with those on both sides of the debate about the role of youth football in society, and the unusual storytelling technique sets it apart from most sport fiction."
