This is actually a book written for children, but it is still an excellent reference to the most famous football family in history. It encompasses their lives, beginning with Archie Manning, and following through with all three siblings: Cooper, Peyton and Eli. All of them were, and still remain, superstars in their own fields of expertise. All, with the exception of Cooper, were all-star Quarterbacks, with Peyton and Eli remaining in the NFL and each winning one Super Bowl apiece. Cooper became a wide receiver instead, but had to give up because of spinal problems. But, he remains successful in his own right.

both kids loved it as it went deeper than football and got into family. they never knew there was a third Manning brother and they loved hearing that story. good for 7-9 year olds.
