I grew up reading the Chip Hilton books and loved every one of them. A few years back, Claire Bee's daughter and her husband decided to bring them back, which was a great idea. Unfortunately, they also decided to update the books.
If you want a great sports book for kids, find the original versions of these books and read them, instead of these updated versions. You can tell the originals from the fakes by looking at the author's name on each book. The originals were written by Claire Bee, the fakes are by him, his daughter and others.
One of the things I always enjoyed about the books was that they were written at a time when the rules in sports were quite a bit different than they are today. In football, for example, if the other team scored you had a choice between having them kick off to you, or you kicking off to them. The strategies and formations were a lot different too, and of course back in those days people still talked about good sportsmanship and it was important.
The updated books don't make much sense, since they are still using the old strategies and rules, but the books are set in modern times.

I rated this book five stars because it is written well.
The book is about a high school football player named Chip Hilton. He is a sophomore who played fullback and now the team has a another fullback meaning they don't need him in that position. So, Chip becomes the new quarterback. The regular quarterback is from another side of town and is mad at Chip for taking his job. Then all the teamates from that side of town start to hate Chip creating a lockeroom fued.
Finally, the team starts to like Chip and they make the playoffs.
Then after winning two playoff games Chip misses the bus and gets a ride with someone he knows and they crash breaking Chip's ankle so, during the championship he has to sit but he calls the winning play.
The main lesson is good sportsmanship.

I thought this book was one of the best books in the Chip Hilton Sports Series! I have read almost the entire series, and trust me, this one is GREAT comparing to a lot of the other super stories in the series.

Despite what I consider unnecessary political correctedness and modern terms, none of the flavor of the lessons learned nor the courage, strength and dedication of the Valley Falls athletes are lost. They are still there valid and apparent yesterday as they were 50 years ago. I am very glad they are back and await my chance to read them all again ... new versions of not ...
