Danny loves to go fast. With his super speed, he can rush down the football field in seconds. The trouble is he forgets to slow down off of the field. When he zips through his homework, he makes mistakes. When he eats too fast, he feels sick. How will Danny learn that a running back can't always rush
At the Victory School for Super Athletes, every student has superpowers. These special gifts translate into trouble in real life when characters use them unwisely. Each title focuses on a different sport, and each features a different main character, who also makes cameo appearances in other titles. The series has strong eye-appeal, character interviews, and online games and puzzles. However, all this glitz cannot make up for the preachy tone and formulaic storylines. Readers may have a hard time identifying with gifted athletes who basically create their own problems Glossary. Timeline. Additional Selection.-- "Library Media Connection"
