Customer Reviews

Football Fugitive

Matt Christopher was a semi professional player before he became a writer! He was very poor. He played baseball with a broomstick and an old tennis ball when he was a child. He made the bases with flat stones. Matt's full name was Matthew Frederick Christopher. Matt wrote hundreds of books and my favorite book of all is Football Fugitive. It describes plays that they did in games. Larry is main character in the story. I am really in to this book because I play football too. Larry meets Yancey Foote who plays in the NFL. He plays on Packers. Yancey gets in trouble. Larry's dad is a lawyer who helps him. Larry plays for the Digits a local team! He is star of his team. He has plays that are similar to my plays. This book is the best.

A good book about Football

This is a book about a guy that plays football for the PACKERS, and a kid that wants to be just like him. They both write each other letters back and forth, but the guy beats a person up that weighs a lot less than him and goes to court for it.At the end of the story they become BEST freinds, but they still write each other letters. They both have a good life after that.

Who's Going to help Yancey Foote

Larry really wishes his dad could come to his games, but his dad is too busy with his law practice. Yancey Foote is his pro football hero. Yancey Foote sends letters to Larry almost every day. One day Larry didn't get any letters so Larry found out that Yancey Foote was in legal trouble. Will Larry's dad ever help Yancey Foote or will he be too busy with his law practice? If you want to know what happens you should read Football Fugitive.

Is Yancey Foote guilty or not

The main Character in Football Fugitive is Larry. He writes letters to his football hero Yancey Foote of the Green Bay Packers. Larry doesn't receive any letters from Yancey. When Larry's dad was picking up the New York Times at a magazine shop. Larry saw a magazine that the headline said, " Yancey Foote good guy, or bad guy.'' The first page said that Yancey beat up a guy one hundred pounds lighter than him and ran out of town. Yancey wasn't found until Larry found him. The next day was Friday, October 26, was the day Yancey had to go to court. The court was also on the day of Larry's last game of the season the Digits against the Crickets. Larry won the game against the Crickets 21-14. After the game Larry saw Yancey and his Dad. Larry's Dad was Yancey's lawyer. Larry walked up to his Dad with his friend Greg, who is deaf. Larry's Dad said, " I'm glad I saw this one.'' That's what Larry wanted his Dad to do through the whole book. "We won too.'' Larry's dad continued. The Theme in Football Fugitive is, if someone wants you to do something do it if it is important to you.
