2024 Winner Gold Moonbeam Award: Best Chapter Book Series 

Football star "Tank" Armstrong has one goal: win another championship. But when the new kid, Marco Santiago, claims to be a football player, Tank and his 

teammates find it hard to believe. Linebacker Biff Taylor invites Marco to practice on the football field to embarrass him and eventually Tank joins in. 

When a video of their bullying goes viral, the three players have a price to pay that will jeopardize their championship season. Tank sets out to make amends with Marco-only to find that his original assumptions couldn't be more wrong... 

Tank soon realizes that great athletes come in all shapes and sizes—and Marco might be the best of them all. As the final game of the season approaches, the football team is still in the race for the league champion- ship and, surprisingly, so is the soccer team. 

Can the other boys accept the new athlete in town? Will Marco help the football team keep their streak of championships alive?
