Carla Jenson, lead reporter for the school newspaper's sports section, has recruited Jerry to co-author a blog chronicling the season from each of their perspectives. When Jerry's best friend on the team takes a hit too hard and gets hurt, Carla wonders publicly if injury in the game comes at too high a cost in a player's life--but not everyone in Kendall wants to hear it. . . . <p/>David Klass and Perri Klass's <i>Second Impact</i> is an action-packed story that will resonate with readers who have been following recent news stories about football injuries.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> David Klass<br><b>Publisher:</b> St. Martins Press-3PL<br><b>Published:</b> 08/05/2014<br><b>Pages:</b> 304<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.85lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781250044365<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-18<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 12<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>160224 / Second Impact<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>David Klass</b> is a screenwriter and the author of many young adult novels, including most recently <i>Stuck on Earth</i>, which <i>Publishers Weekly</i> called a thoughtful, often wrenching book [that] offers plenty to think about.
