This is another shortlist book and I loved it. Mitch is the new kid in town. He loves sports but he's not that good at playing them. He is much better at analyzing things, especially statistics and money. So when he and his new friend Jamie decide to help take bets on football games he thinks he has a great thing going. His friends are having fun, he and Jamie are making money. No harm, no foul - right??? Until the school finds out. What I liked about the book is that it didn't end there ... there was time for Mitch and Jamie to learn from what they did and to make good.
This was a fun sports book without too much of the play by play that can bog readers down...
