The Walk On (The Triple Threat, 1)

Bestselling sportswriter John Feinstein kicks off a new series for middle grade featuring Alex Myers, a student athlete who tries to take on the sports establishment in his new town.
Â
Alex Myers is a quarterback, but from the first day of football practice, itâ€™s clear that that position is very much filled by the coachâ€™s son, Matt.
Â
Alex has the better arm, but Matt has more experienceâ€”and the coachâ€™s loyalty. Alex finally gets a chance to show what he can do when Matt is injured, and he helps win a key game to keep the Lionsâ€™ bid for the state championship alive. But just when his star is rising, Alex gets blindsidedâ€”the state has started drug testing, and Alexâ€™s test comes back positive for steroids. Alex knows thatâ€™s not right. But he doesnâ€™t know if itâ€™s a mistakeâ€”or if someone wants to make sure he canâ€™t play. . . .
Â
John Feinstein has been praised as â€œthe best writer of sports books in America todayâ€ (The Boston Globe), and this first installment in the Triple Threat series is his most thrilling and suspenseful novel yet. Fans of Mike Lupica, Tim Green, and Paul Volponi will want to check out The Walk On, and its companion, The Sixth Man.
Â
â€œA cliffhanger of a football novel bristling with social, personal, familial and ethical issues to complement the gridiron action. . . . All the goods for the sports enthusiastâ€”and more.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews
