| 5stars....Two Minute Drill by Mike Lupica is a story about a boy named Scott that moves to a new town and school. At his new school, he had no friends and a bully was always picking on Scott. One time when Scott was being picked on, the coolest kid in his grade name Chris, stuck up for Scott.
After that, Scott and Chris became friends. While Chris was one of the best football player on the team, Scott didn't think he was good at all. But since Scott's father had played football for Boston College, Scott thought he should join the football team anyway. It turned out that Scott was really good at kicking.
Scott and Chris' football team made it to the championship in their league. Scott's team was losing by one point in the fourth quarter with three seconds left. And the coach told Scott to go out and do something and if you want to find out about the end of the book you should read this book.
I liked this book a lot. It was a very good book. My favorite part of the book is the end but, you will have to read it to find out about it. My favorite character is Scott, because he thinks he's not good at football but, he keeps trying and doesn't quit the team and he finds out what he's good at in football.
I think the author wrote this book for a lesson to never give up. I recommend his book to everybody that likes football even if you don't like football it is still a very good book. I hope this book review makes you want to go out and read this book, because it is a very good book.
