Inhaltsangabe

Ronde and Tiki are a team. They are twins, they are each other’s best friends and biggest fans, and they play on the same football team in this picture book based on a true story.

Tiki has had seven long touch-down runs this season, and Ronde is proud of his brother, but he can’t help feeling a little down when Tiki gets all the glory. If Ronde hadn’t been leading the way with his blocks, Tiki wouldn’t have been clear to score. Ronde thinks nobody notices the guy who blocks; they only notice the guy who scores. Will the day ever come when Ronde will get his chance?

Written by two NFL superstars, this story of perseverance and teamwork will inspire. Barry Root’s glowing illustrations bring to life all the excitement and energy of a great game and a team working together.

Chapter One

It was Tuesday afternoon, and the twins were in their room doing homework. Ronde suddenly looked up from his book and said, "Guess how long it took Lewis and Clark to go from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean." "Dunno," Tiki said. "A couple weeks?"

"A couple weeks? It took almost two years!" Ronde grinned. "That's what you know!"

"Well, if two guys row all day ..."

"It wasn't just two," Ronde answered. "No way." He pointed to his book. "It took almost forty to get there. A whole bunch."

The twins' mother popped her head into the room. "Surprise," she whispered. "Someone's here to talk with you."

Jason took the snap. He faked a pass to the left and wheeled around. He shoveled the football back to Tiki, who veered outside the onrushing end. Tiki threaded his way downfield, behind his brother, but three defensive backs were closing in.

Then something strange happened. Ronde seemed to miss his block and slide sideways past the defenders. The three tacklers, sure of themselves now, headed for Tiki. It seemed like it was all over ...
