There is plenty of football action but essentially the story is about an outgrown friendship and Hamp's gradual belief in his own skills and intelligence. Hamp is of course troubled when his loyalty to Sara conflicts with his closeness to his best friend. Knights of the Hill Country was his first novel for young adults he is also the author of The Spectacular Now (a National Book Award finalist), Badd, and Mojo. Hamp makes a new friend, Sara, which is evolving into a romance, even though Blaine ridicules her. Finally Hamp gets the true story about that so-called betrayal, which gives him a new way to look at the traditions of his town. But the town gossip is that this man once betrayed them when he quit the football team abruptly a generation ago. His mother is dating an interesting, good man.

So the story is as much about a friendship that is confining as it is about football. Blaine is the quarterback, but an injury is keeping him from a college scholarship and his rage is hurting the team. He and his mother have been barely functioning since Hamp's father abandoned them they live in a rental house on the poor side of town, and Hamp is totally dependent on the attention of Blaine's family, who has nurtured his interest in football. The narrator is Hampton Green, the star linebacker, who is so humble it hurts. Save up to 80 versus print by going digital with VitalSource.
