Deep Zone

Description: Star quarterback Troy White's a natural for the 7-on-7 tournament that's being held at the Super Bowl in Miami. Ty Lewis is a wide receiver with exceptional speed. But when the two rivals find themselves tangled in a web of deceit, they discover they have more in common than their skill at football.

Brief description:

Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping books for adults as the New York Times bestselling The Dark Side of the Game and American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR.

His first book for young readers, Football Genius, inspired in part by his players and his own kids, became a New York Times bestseller and was followed by Football Hero, Football Champ, The Big Time, and Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for Rivals and Pinch Hit and two more New York Times bestsellers: Baseball Great and Best of the Best.

Bestselling author Jon Scieszka called Tim Green's Unstoppable, a book about a boy's struggle with cancer that debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, "Absolutely heroic. And something every guy should read."

Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York.

Review Quotes:

Fast moving and suspenseful. Green is a former defensive end for the Atlanta Falcons, and this is readily apparent in the on-field action, which is extremely vivid and well written. - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
