Lipsyte, Robert.Raiders Night. New York: HarperTempest, 2006.
Nick DePompei Inspired me to read this book. After I read his blog about this book I knew that this was one for me to read. Anything with me and football goes like peanut butter and jelly. I agree with Nick's review he did a really good job summing up the story and persuading others to read it.
If anyone knows how crazy the city of Massilon is about their high school football this book reminds me a lot of that. I liked how the entire town was crazy about football in this book. Every baby boy that was born in the town is given a football with their teams logo on it from the mayor. This book was very unpredictable. The author did a great job of leading you on that the boys weren't going to get caught taking illegal steroids to enhance their performance, but in the end a lot of senior players got in trouble. All in all I feel like this book didn't have any weaknesses.
