Fantasy League
Fantasy League | Mike Lupica
5 posts | 3 read
From the #1 bestselling author of Heat, Travel Team and Million-Dollar Throw comes a story of every football kids dream come true. 12-year-old Charlie is a fantasy football guru. He may be just a bench warmer for his school's football team, but when it comes to knowing and loving the game, he's first-string. He even becomes a celebrity when his podcast gets noticed by a sports radio host, who plays Charlie's fantasy picks for all of Los Angeles to hear. Soon Charlie befriends the elderly owner of the L.A. Bulldogs -- a fictional NFL team -- and convinces him to take a chance on an aging quarterback. After that, watch out . . . it's press conferences and national fame as Charlie becomes a media curiosity and source of conflict for the Bulldogs general manager, whose job Charlie seems to have taken. It's all a bit much for a kid just trying to stay on top of his grades and maintain his friendship with his verbal sparring partner, Anna. Like the best Disney film in book form, like Moneyball for kids, Fantasy League is every football kid's dream scenario. Praise for FANTASY LEAGUE: * "This Moneyball story with kids is on the money."Booklist, starred review "The feel good book of the year."VOYA Readers will be alternately cheering and reaching for a tissue during the final playoff-deciding game for the Bulldogs. This will be devoured by young football fans.School Library Journal

I've finally managed to send out my #SFMBC package today to @MommyOfTwo . I hope you like everything 😀 @Avanders

MommyOfTwo Woohoo, I can‘t wait! 6y
MommyOfTwo I just got this today, didn‘t you send me the last one tho? We aren‘t supposed to be sending to the same person every time. @Avanders 6y
Shadowfat You're right @MommyOfTwo we are rotating. I'm doing 2 other swaps that we send to the same person, so I missed that and that it was every 2 months, I didn't have to rush after all! What should I do @Avanders ? 6y

MommyOfTwo I didn‘t even realize it when you first tagged me. I can send it back to you or on to the person it should have went to. 6y
Avanders Oh no! Let me check thins tonight. We'll work this out ☺️ @Shadowfat @MommyOfTwo 6y
Shadowfat Thank you @Avanders ! I panicked because I thought I was late and didn't triple check the whole email. @MommyOfTwo I got the items with you in mind so I'm not sure if they'll still be good for the person I was supposed to send it to. 6y
Avanders @GrilledCheeseSamurai you haven't sent next month's SFMBC pkg to @MommyOfTwo yet, have you! Fingers crossed you haven't ... I'm going to se how I can rearrange things but I need to verify first 6y
Shadowfat If it doesn't work out @MommyOfTwo feel free to open the small non book shaped gift inside as payment for mailing it back to me. Sorry again, I feel silly for making that mistake 😣 6y
Avanders Actually.. here's what I'm thinking. The rotation was a bit of a math problem to begin with 😜 so rather than try to do something diff .. let's do this: @GrilledCheeseSamurai - go fwd as normal. @MommyOfTwo - sounds like the gift was for *you*, so keep it. But could you please mail the Book to @cobwebmoth ? I'll send Laura some goodies ☺️. @Shadowfat - no worries!! I know it can be challenging staying on stop of all the diff groups/swaps. 6y
Avanders (I've been meaning to send her a little something soon anyway -- this just gets my butt in gear 😁) 6y
Shadowfat That works for me @Avanders ! Then continue as normal for the August book? 6y
Avanders Yep! Exactly ☺️ 6y
MommyOfTwo Sounds good 👌 6y

True story, I get really competitive in my friends' 12-man fantasy football league, despite never watching an NFL game during the season (which drives them crazy). I usually finish third or fourth-- and it's all starting again soon . Mwahahaha... #sports #sportsball #fantasyfootball

LauraJ I love FF! I'm always first or second in my league. I'm the master of the waiver wire. 7y
rachelm @LauraJ same! 😸 7y
TheNextBook Hahahahahahaha! I can't. I've never done fantasy football but football is always during the season! 7y

This book was good but I think it could have been better by adding better details
