The Dog That Stole Football Plays (4 page)

When Mike meets Harry the Airedale, Harry looks like any other dog, but then he begins to talk to Mike via mental telepathy.
Then Harry goes to a football game Mike is playing in, starts overhearing the other team’s plays, and tells Mike all about
them. With Harry’s help, Mike’s team is sure to win. But is it
really
winning? And can they still go the distance without Harry’s supernatural advice?

“The writing is brisk, lightly humorous, and well suited in brevity and simplicity for young sports fans.”
