Troy White can predict any football play before it happens. And when his single mom gets a job with the Atlanta Falcons, Troy knows it's his big chance to help them out of their slump—and finally prove his football genius. But unless Troy can convince star linebacker Seth Halloway that he's telling the truth, the Falcons' championship—and Troy's mom's job—are in serious jeopardy.

 The Best In a Long Time... September 7, 2007
David K. Taggart (Calhoun, GA USA)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is the best football novel for young readers in a generation.
Troy White is a back-up quarterback on his youth league team; the coach's son starts. He and his single Mom live in rural southern poverty, and troy listens to train whistles in the night.
But Troy has a gift -- he knows what football plays teams will run next. Any teams -- kids league, college, pro. Troy's a genius who can predict what the offence will do.
So when his Mom gets a job in the publicity department of the Atlanta Falcons, Troy suddenly has the chance to get into the big time. But will anybody believe a mere kid? Even if he can convince the Falcons All-Pro linebacker, will the coaches and the team believe him?
A former Atlanta Falcon, author Tim Green gives a behind the scenes look into the real world of pro football. The relationships between Troy, his young friends, and enemies are true to life, and the southern atmosphere authentic.

This is book for football lovers captures the imagination of the reader by combining reality with fantasy; it is written by a former football player. Even reluctant readers immerse themselves in the story, particularly boys age 9-12.
The main character, who loves football, has extraordinary powers. The author created a wholesome high interest, controlled vocabulary story.

If you want a book that has ups and downs and twists and turns then Football Genius is the book for you. This recently released book that came out recently is written by former Atlanta Falcon Tim Green. It is for die hard football fans. This book goes from Troy, the main character almost getting killed, to being a star quarterback. On his team Troy is having problems with his football team because he's not playing but he's excited that his mom got a job with his favorite football team. Troy's amazing gift of being able to tell what play the offense is going to do next helps him get through the hard times. This book is a must read, and you won't be able to put it down until it's done because of all the thrills of sneaking out at night and getting pulled off a football field by security. Tim Green's awesome way of making it so suspenseful was great. If you love suspense thrillers and most importantly football this is definitely the book for you.

I got this book with a gift card I received as a gift. I got the book because I was looking for a quick read that would be easy. Well, it was easy, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. I work with kids on a regular basis and I find myself reading books that 5th and 6th graders could read. Even though it did not challenge me, I enjoyed the book. The plot was well planned. It makes you think about how kids really treat each other. Anyone who reads this book can relate to at least one of the characters. It would recommend this book to anyone, but especially kids.
