Description
Description
Pop by Gordon Korman is a thought-provoking young adult novel combining high school football, competition, friendship, and the hidden costs of life on the field.
New in town, Marcus hopes to earn a place on the championship football team, but star player Troy and the tight-knit team make breaking in difficult. While practising in a park, Marcus meets Charlie, an energetic man in his fifties who still plays like a professional. Charlie turns out to be a former NFL player and local celebrity who begins helping Marcus improve his game and overcome his fear of being tackled.
As their friendship grows, Marcus realizes that Charlie’s behaviour and memory are changing, raising difficult questions about the lasting effects of repeated head injuries in contact sports. Korman balances humour and heart with a serious look at ambition, loyalty, and friendship.
