Reviews
A very compelling story with interesting characters that kept this reader wanting to read more. 'Connor deals with topics that would be well worth discussing with almost any teen: the value of team-work; honesty; and ethics. I will certainly include Betting Gamein our curriculum resource collection and would recommend it for other school libraries as well. Highly Recommended., A fast paced, entertaining read that will really appeal to all soccer players, both boys and girls, especially those struggling to sustain a reading habit. This book can't be put down. The soccer scenes are action packed. The boys' references to world renowned soccer players will engage readers while the emotional pressure to get along on a team will resonate with all athletes., Tight and authentic sports action combined with engaging characters make this title great for sports fans as well as readers who enjoy action and drama., The fast-paced writing has enough soccer action to keep reluctant readers turning the pages, and the gambling intrigue, along with a side plot involving a new player on Jack's team, adds to the increasing conflict...The tone, dialogue, and emotional stakes ring true. A solid pick for hi-lo sports fiction., O'Connor will keep the game's fans close with plenty of in-the-know soccer patter, but she will also draw other readers with the story of Jack's slow absorption into a gambling...Hard-hitting...and as memorable as a prison tour for young men who think crime is a sport and a joke.
