Game Changer Hardcover – September 11, 2018

My 12-year-old son chose this book for his school summer reading. He absolutely loved it! He says it is in his list of favorite books ever! He loves sports so it was a great story of a kid who gets injured playing football. He loved the story, there's suspense, and he loved the characters as well. He could not put the book down, and he would be laughing out loud in parts of it. He would highly recommend this book.

Worst book. So repetitive, drawn out. Sheer torture to read for a book report with my son. We both hated it.

While 'Game Changer' is technically a book about football, it's really so much more than a sports story. In an incredibly engaging manner (it's a fun read that flies by) the author illuminates what happens when people are entrenched and unwilling to listen to opposing sides of an issue. This makes 'Game Changer' relatable to all (and sadly, incredibly timely). Sports kids, non-sports kids and parents will relate to the well-drawn characters and the difficulties they face navigating thorny social media—and just plain social—issues. My favorite book I've read this month.

I am a teacher. I read this with my class of six graders and we all loved it. I even got a little choked up at the end. The writing is written like a student, so it comes out in many different mediums: Twitter, live feed, and conversations. Great writing. The character development lends itself to plenty of discussion about school sports.

Its football theme and unique format of text messages, social media posts, interviews, newspaper articles, and character dialogue make it a perfect book for readers who have difficulty completing and understanding a traditionally written book. I would recommend it especially to reluctant readers and those with reading challenges such as dyslexia.

Next day shipping was really fast! My daughter was required to read this book for a summer reading and she couldn’t put it down. She finished it in 2 days.

My son read this book in less than three days! He couldn’t out it down. He’s in 6th grade and it was a required book that he ended up falling in love with!

It was one of the only books myTeen boy read and liked this summer. He is incredibly picky.
