Gutless Carl Deuker

From the author of Gym Candy comes a novel of football and bullying, finding friends and finding courage.

With both good speed and good hands, wide receiver Brock Ripley should be a natural for the varsity team, but he shies away from physical contact. When he gets cut from varsity, he also loses his friendship with star quarterback. Now a target for bullying, Brock struggles to overcome his fears and discover that, in his own way, he is brave enough.
