Heartridge High has never won a football game. The coach is clueless, and the team has no structure.
Finn is the team quarterback and at his wits end. Maxine Falls is the school's biggest tomboy and Finn's best friend, along with Luke, Marcus, Sophia, and Emma.
Max knows the team needs help and takes it one step further when Finn jokes about her joining the team. She switches places with one player.
There are two problems. Max is hiding the switch from Finn and the boys, and Finn wants to confess to Max how he feels about her. He's also trying to turn a losing team into champions.
While dealing with the crazy antics of their friends and Max's family, Max and Finn will navigate their way through their feelings and football.
Did I mention Max and Finn will get help through letters from someone special?
