THE ROAR OF THE CROWD
BY: RICH WALLACE
description of the book
It's Manny's first football season in 6th grade. He played soccer before that, he has no experience playing football. He small but fast. His coach does not play him because he's en-experienced. he doesn't play until the last game where he makes his statement on the field.
the conflict is man vs. self
Manny doesn't play much because its his first year and his coach doesn't like him because he messed up in the first game. He thinks about quitting but he sticks it out until the end.
