Two-Minute Drill
Chris Conlan is the coolest kid in sixth grade—the golden-armed quarterback of the football team, and the boy all the others look up to. Scott Parry is the new kid, the boy with the huge brain, but with feet that trip over themselves daily. These two boys may seem like an odd couple, but each has a secret that draws them together as friends, and proves that the will to succeed is even more important than raw talent.

The Comeback Kids is a series of five separate stories about five boys for whom sport is almost everything. Jake loves to play soccer; Chris is passionate about football; Zach and Pedro live for basketball; and Nick wants to belong on the baseball field. In differing ways, all the boys discover that rarely is the desire to play free from outside factors—factors such as friendships, peer group and family pressures, and the challenges of performing well in a sport you love.
