Fantasy League -- Mike Lupica

<b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of HEAT, TRAVEL TEAM and MILLION-DOLLAR THROW comes a story of every football kid's dream come true.</b> <p/> 12-year-old Charlie is a fantasy football guru. He may be just a bench warmer for his school's football team, but when it comes to knowing and loving the game, he's first-string. He even becomes a celebrity when his podcast gets noticed by a sports radio host, who plays Charlie's fantasy picks for all of Los Angeles to hear. Soon Charlie befriends the elderly owner of the L.A. Bulldogs -- a fictional NFL team -- and convinces him to take a chance on an aging quarterback. After that, watch out . . . it's press conferences and national fame as Charlie becomes a media curiosity and source of conflict for the Bulldogs general manager, whose job Charlie seems to have taken. It's all a bit much for a kid just trying to stay on top of his grades and maintain his friendship with his verbal sparring partner, Anna. <p/> Like the best Disney film in book form, like <i>Moneyball </i>for kids, <i>Fantasy League</i> is every football kid's dream scenario. <p/> <b>"Lupica is the greatest sports writer for middle school readers." -<i>VOYA</i></b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Mike Lupica<br><b>Publisher:</b> Viking Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 07/14/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 320<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780147514943<br><b>Audience:</b>
