Summary: A great book
Review: I like the book because the auther descibed the characters well. He descibed Nick the main character perfictly. It had so much imagrey.The best part of the book is when Nick Lighter fell asleep with the jersey on during a monday night foot ball game and he found himself staring at sixty eight thousan fans at mile high stadium. He was Broncos legond John Elway. The Describsion was great. The green grass,tons of fans,and the bright lights over the stadium. I like the conflict Nick aginst the best defence in football.

Summary: A great book
Review: What kid has not dreamed about being their favorite sports hero? Well, in "Quarterback Exchange: I Was John Elway" one young boy gets a chance to literally change places with his football hero, as well as learn something about how the came is really played. The Monday Night Football Club consists of three best buds named Coleman, Elliot and Nick. During the week they practice all sorts of football trick plays, like the Wigwam Aerial Skate-Bomb and the Weisbaum Broken-Field Lateral Tree Punt. Every Monday Night the trio have a sleep over at one of their houses to watch the big game on Monday Night. Then Nick receives a package containing a gift from his late grandfather: a wool college football sweater from when his grandfather was a lineman for the North Brainerd Eskimos. As far as Nick is concerned the sweater is old, scratchy and of no value (Nick has obviously never been to Brainerd when it is 50 below with the wind chill). It seems Nick and his grandfather used to fight about football since the old man thought football was about hard work and Nick knows it is all about having fun. But then Nick discovers that some very strange things start happening to him when he falls asleep wearing his grandfather's jersey. He start s hearing voices calling him "John" and saying weird things like "Fifty-three bob, odd six, on one!" Is Nick dreaming or running a fever? Or has he really switched places with John Elway, leading the Denver Broncos against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football? Gordon Korman takes the standard fantasy of wanting to trade places with your favorite player and adds a worthwhile lesson a bout how talent means nothing unless you are willing to work hard. In the front of this book you will find a message from John Elway about making your dreams come true through hard work, while in the back you will find "The Official Monday Night Football Club Story of Comeback King John Elway" and a letter from the Bronco's quarterback about the work of The Elway oundation. "Quarterback Exchange" is a pleasant enough little story that will hopefully hit home with some of its young readers.
