Friday night football at Ada High is what most people live for. In the book “Crackback by John Coy” this is what the main character Miles Manning lives and breathes. This book covers a wide variety of situations; football, drug abuse, and the inside on what boys go through. That is one part that makes this book so compelling, that unlike most young adult reads this one focuses on the issues of teenage boys, instead of girls. John Coy created a book that everyone can get into, especially those who love football. It is a very emotion filled, and realisitc type of writing. I suggest everyone check it out!
