The PHS Book Club will be discussing this 2008 Abe Lincoln List novel on Thursday. I just finished re-reading it and I still like it. But, oh, how it makes me think about high school! I used to date a big football star, so this book hits home in a lot of ways.
Neely Crenshaw was an all-American quarterback for Coach Rake. Now Coach Rake is dying, and Neely and tons of other players come back to the town of Messina for the wake. Messina lives and breathes football, thanks to Coach Rake, who won hundreds of football games and helped raise tons of boys. But some hated him and some loved him.
