Friday Night Lights meets Concussion in this powerful and important novel by Geoff Herbach, author of the Stupid Fast series, exploring the dangerous concussion crisis in football through the eyes of a high school team captain.

Isaiah loves football. In fact, football saved Isaiahā€™s life, giving him structure and discipline after his sisterā€™s death tore his family apart. But when Isaiah gets knocked out cold on the field, he learns thereā€™s a lot more to lose than football.

While recovering from a concussion, Isaiah wonders what his life would look like without the game. All his friends are on the team, and Isaiah knows they canā€™t win without him. The scholarship offer from Cornell is only on the table if he keeps playing.

And without football, what would keep his family together? What would prevent him from sliding back into the habits that nearly destroyed him?

Isaiah must decide how much heā€™s willing to sacrifice for the sport that gave him everything, even if playing football threatens to take away his future.
