Details

Reggie "Stick-'em" Scott is a hard-hitting senior linebacker. During a game, Nate, a player on the opposing team, tackles Reggie improperly and ends up in the hospital, possibly paralyzed for life. Though Reggie's family, friends, teammates, and coaches all say the accident wasn't his fault, Reggie still feels guilty. When Nate's mother blames Reggie, his remorse becomes overwhelming, and his performance on the field suffers. Reggie realizes he has to somehow clear his head and his conscience, or his senior season may be over. Special hardcover edition.

As Reggie celebrates the pick, he realizes that something is very wrong: Nate is down and not moving. Reggie can’t stop thinking about Nate’s injury, even though everyone tells Reggie that he is not to blame—everyone except Elizabeth Brown, who unfairly accosts Reggie in her grief. Finally, the adults in Reggie’s life point him to a counselor who helps Reggie talk through his problem and enable him to put the accident behind him. Topics Football. Star players. Injuries. Grief.
