Product Description
Superstar quarterback Joe Kingman (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), leads a Boston-based team that is chasing a championship. A 'serial bachelor', Kingman is living the ultimate fantasy: he's rich, famous and the life of the party. But this dream is suddenly sacked for a loss when his ex-wife passes away and he discovers the 8-year-old daughter (newcomer Madison Pettis) he never knew he had.

Now, during the most important time in his career, he must figure out how to juggle his parties, practices and dates with the newfound ballet classes, bedtime stories and dolls that come with his daughter. Equally perplexed is his hard-edged mega-agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick), herself without a parental bone in her body. Despite the often hilarious misadventures that come with being a new father, Joe discovers that's there's more to life than money, endorsements and thousands of adoring fans--the love and care of one very special small fan is the only thing that truly matters.

The Game Plan: The Junior Novel will tie-in with the movie and will include an eight-page full-color insert.

The Game Plan

I read the fiction book The Game Plan. It's a novel based on the major motion picture, adapted by Beth Beechwood. The book is about a super star football player named Joe Kingman, He gets a surprise daughter, at his door, named Peyton Kelly. The setting is in Boston. Joe's problem is that he has to take care of the daughter while the championship game is coming up. He's not sure if he can handle it.

I give this book 5 stars because it was very detailed and had many emotions you could feel in the book. I recommend this book to anyone because it a children's book and grown ups will enjoy it, too! I chose this book because I saw the commercial for the movie and I wanted to read the book before I saw the movie.
