Highly recommend March 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I highly recommend this novel. I'm neither a boy nor a football fan, but I found Eddie and The Jets highly engrossing and entertaining. The author has a straightforward and engaging style that keeps the book moving quickly. All the characters are believable and likable, and I think kids will really be able to identify with the problems faced by Eddie and his friends and family. Indeed, the story is quite touching without being at all melodramatic. I can't wait to share this book with my nephews - and friends!
A young adult novel about making hard choices and growing up March 12, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Eddie and the Jets is a young adult novel about making hard choices and growing up. Eddie loves football, and starts a street football team called The Jets with his friends. But when Eddie falls in love with his best friend's twin sister, and Eddie's dad walks out, things get more and more complicated, and one by one things in Eddie's life seem to fall apart - his football team, his family, his friendship and his love life. Learning to pick up the pieces, adapt, and patch up differences is a key point in this modern story about coping with difficult changes. Highly recommended.

I bought this book for my cousin's son, but decided to read it before giving it away. And I'm glad I did! Even though it's written for a younger crowd, I found it very engaging for adults, too. Aside from football, Mr. Attanas touches upon various issues everyone faces regardless of age. And the straight-forward writing style makes it hard to put down!
Definitely worth reading!!
 Great Book for Boys! August 30, 2005

I've been having a very hard time finding quality middle grade boy fiction to give to my son, so I am delighted to have come across this new book! This is perfect boy fiction, and speaks to its readers (my son relates to Eddie, the main character). Bravo to Mr. Attanas--I hope he will continue to write more children's literature!
Great Book!!! August 12, 2005

You don't have to like The Jets to love this book. It's straight forward, easy to read and very interesting. All my friends are reading it.
