Ryan never knew his dad, nor the fact that he owned the Dallas Cowboys. But when his father dies unexpectedly, Ryan is given a rare and amazing opportunity to be the owner of the NFL team. Not only is this a dream come true, but it gives Ryan a chance to make it in middle school without being a total social misfit. It may also help him rise up off the bench of his football team and break into the starting lineup.
With the help of his friends Jackson and Izzy, Ryan quickly takes advantage of his newfound stardom. He convinces his middle-school coach to use a tricky passing offense that's more suited to his own quick thinking and limited arm strength. But just when he thinks things are looking up, Ryan's nasty stepmother appears and makes a legal play to install her own son as the Cowboys' kid owner. With drama heating up both on and off the field, Ryan quickly realizes he may lose much more than just the Dallas Cowboys.
New York Times bestselling author and former NFL defensive end Tim Green delivers a high-energy story that is a sports lover's dream come true. And with gripping family drama and captivating sports action, readers won't be able to stop turning the pages.
"Ryan is believably naive and dazzled by his new situation. Sports fans will be, too."
