Tiki and Ronde Barber have waited their entire life for their team to win the state football championship. It's their last year at Hidden Valley Junior High School and their last chance to show that their team is the best. But one little problem has crept in. Well, lots of little problems have crept in. The problem is chicken pox and it is spreading through the team. One by one, some of the best players are sidelined for over a week until the spots and fever are gone. More than a week is a long time in the football playoff world and those sick players are needed so the team can keep winning. Will identical twins Tiki and Ronde get the chicken pox too? Can the underdog team win without them? Whether you are a football fan or not, you will want to read this book. If you are a football fan, you will love the football game playbook at the end. A team roster and schedule are included in the front of the book.
