Game Changer

The story was pretty good (maybe a 4/5) but how it was told was very good! Through text messages, newspaper articles, inner thoughts and more, I really enjoyed that aspect the most.

Great read with mixed media format - the story is told through realistic character conversations (script format), text messages, social media posts, interview transcript, and news articles. The theme is complex and allows for lots of discussion.

My 12-year-old son chose this book for his school summer reading. He absolutely loved it! He says it is in his list of favorite books ever! He loves sports so it was a great story of a kid who gets injured playing football. He loved the story, there's suspense, and he loved the characters as well. He could not put the book down, and he would be laughing out loud in parts of it. He would highly recommend this book.

I bought this book for my brother n law. He told me the game was changed. Im not sure if it ever did. He never told me.

Its football theme and unique format of text messages, social media posts, interviews, newspaper articles, and character dialogue make it a perfect book for readers who have difficulty completing and understanding a traditionally written book. I would recommend it especially to reluctant readers and those with reading challenges such as dyslexia.

I am a teacher. I read this with my class of six graders and we all loved it. I even got a little choked up at the end. The writing is written like a student, so it comes out in many different mediums: Twitter, live feed, and conversations. Great writing. The character development lends itself to plenty of discussion about school sports.

While 'Game Changer' is technically a book about football, it's really so much more than a sports story. In an incredibly engaging manner (it's a fun read that flies by) the author illuminates what happens when people are entrenched and unwilling to listen to opposing sides of an issue. This makes 'Game Changer' relatable to all (and sadly, incredibly timely). Sports kids, non-sports kids and parents will relate to the well-drawn characters and the difficulties they face navigating thorny social media—and just plain social—issues. My favorite book I've read this month.

This was fantastic I understand th injury I had a friend who had a serious concussion but I hope that doesn't happen to me this book opened my eyes on how to one hit can really change everything which is why I will be careful
