About This Book
"Betrayal" explores the complex bond between brothers Reed and T.J. when a coveted college football quarterback position creates a deep rift. Reed feels a strong loyalty to T.J., who he believes he owes, but the opportunity to play at Boston College is a dream come true. This chapter book delves into themes of loyalty, jealousy, ambition, and the difficult choices that can strain family ties. While the publisher's age range is broad, the themes and character ages (college-bound) make it most suitable for readers aged 9-14, offering a compelling story about navigating competitive environments and personal integrity.
Reed has promised himself that he will always look out for his brother T.J. After all, he owes T.J. But last week, T.J's coach at Boston College called and offered Reed the starting quarterback spot for the fall position T.J. thinks will be his.
