In the gripping companion to Tommy Greenwald’s award-winning novel Game Changer, a star football player watches his father deteriorate from injuries he suffered playing the very same sport—now in paperback
Caleb Springer is the up-and-coming star freshman quarterback on the high school football team, which isn’t a surprise considering his dad, Sammy Springer, was an NFL superstar and is now the town celebrity. College scouts are already snooping around Caleb and his future seems set.
But just as Caleb’s glory days begin, his dad starts to change. He’s forgetting things and getting angry at random times. Caleb is forced to confront a bleak possibility: The sport that gives him so much status and self-worth might be the cause of his dad’s strange behavior.
Will Caleb keep playing the sport of his dreams, even if he knows how dangerous it can be?

Praise for Dinged
The author folds frightening scenes with an injured teammate and another ex–NFL player into the story as he takes his confused protagonist through the championship game to a decision that may be smart even if just possibly too late... A cogent cautionary tale.
