[ISLMA-Share] Inspirational Sports recommendation

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I loved Unstoppable.

Unstoppable
Tim Green.

"If anyone understands the phrase 'tough luck,' it's Harrison. As a foster
kid in a cruel home, he knows his dream of one day playing for the NFL is a
long shot. Then Harrison's luck seems to change. He is brought into a new
home with kind, loving parents--his new dad is even a football coach.
Harrison's big build and his incredible determination quickly make him a
star running back on the junior high school team. In no time, he's
practically unstoppable. But Harrison's good luck can't last
forever"--Jacket flap.
