A Review by Erik
This book was an interesting story about a kids football team that was supposed to lose every game, but they mysteriously get a new play that they used to help them.

Jasper was an old man who recognized the plays. He said they used them over 60 years ago when he was in high school. Chip, the quarterback, asked the high school coach if he was giving them the plays, but he said no.

Every week they got a new play and practiced it. And every week they won the game. Jasper, chip the coach, and the other kids on the team wanted to know who was sending the plays to the coach. They tried and tried to see where the plays were coming from, but the only person who knew wouldnt talk about it.

The characters are like real kids and very interesting. The coach doesnt know a lot about football but that part of what makes the story interesting.

The book is interesting and doesnt get boring. The main story talks about the football games and kids. But also talks about the mystery of who is sending the coach the secret plays and where did these plays come from.

The worst part about the book is that the Author led part of it get boring because parts of the book drug on too long, especially in the middle. But most of the time it was fun to read.

I have this book & it is very good. In my title I put "Short But Sweet" because this book is roughly 80 pages. I read it in a day, but it is worth buying. I love this book, and I wish that everyone will read this book.

I got this book for my 9 year old grandson who happens to be
dyslexic but is also an absolute fanatic about football!
He is reading it and loving it! I am THRILLED to have found these
books that are so enticing they will make even a struggling
reader want to read them. Thank YOU , Matt Christopher, for
understanding what will motivate a young boy to read!

I like this book. I liked the part when the team was winning. I did not like the part when Danny was cheating on the plays. I would recommend this book.

The Team That Couldn't Lose by Matt Christopher is a very interesting book. The characters are Coach Kash, Chip Chase, and the rest of the Cayugans football team. Mr. McFall, an old player who played 60 years ago, has lost his old playbook because his wife sold it. A boy named Danny Livenmore bought it, and was sending plays to the Cayugans.
This book is a must read! It has a good author because he is a very young sports writer. He will probably have some good books in the future.

I'm a sports fan with kids -- and our family enjoyed this book. If you are looking for a fun book that is related to sports, take a look at this book. Good stuff to keep the children engaged. Great, creative, and fun ideas. Sports & reading -- are a great combination for children (especially young boys). Note, however, that my daughter enjoyed this as well!

I say this is a great book.It is about a kid who is on the last place team.And there is someone who is secretly sending them
plays. The main characters are Chip,Splash,turtle,and Daniel. The main reason I like this story is because I really like Football.

I bought this for my sports-crazy godson to get him interested in reading, and it worked. Now all he wants to read are sports-related stories, but at least he's reading!
