Customer Reviews

Excellent Book

My 5th grader (11 y/o) son and I both Matt Christopher books. We had embarked on a joint reading adventure to encourage him to read more and also to try and develop an enjoyment for reading. Matt Christopher books are very good for that.

ALL EYES ARE ON ME

"All eyes were on me. I fell to the ground with the football right beside me. I hated myself. This is a quote from Football Nightmare. I liked this book. What I liked about the book is that Keith doesn't gives up. I can relate him, because I dropped a pass one time. I like Matt Christopher; he is a good writer. This is one of his best books. I also like Undercover Tailback and The Shortstop From Tokyo. Wharton

Exciting book

This exciting book starts when Keith Steadman drops the winning pass. He decides not to play football anymore because he feels like a loser. He has nightmares every night about the dropped pass. It is a good story because it shows how he overcomes his mistake with his family's help. I think you should read this book to find out more!

A very good book

The Matt Christopher Football nightmare is a very exciting book. When Keith just misses the pass and loses the championship he thinks about quitting but his friends and his family especially his sister Tracy get him to stay with his team in the football league. After he decides to continue football he becomes pretty good at it but he makes a few mistakes which he gets mad at himself for. He then gets over it with the help of everybody and finally is great again.The football nightmare is a great book by Matt Christopher and it would be a great book to buy.
