Underdogs by Mike Lupica
categories: Mrs. McGriff
For fans of football and underdogs, Mike Lupica has written a book for you. Underdogs continues the great tradition of the little guy–or team–overcoming all the odds. If you like stories from The Bad News Bears to Facing the Giants, you will enjoy this book.

I just finished The Lions of Little Rock about segregation in the late 50s-have you read this one? Mighty good!!
About to start one I bought at our book fair-Bystander by James Preller. About bullying.
Happy reading!
