First Down, First Love

by Steven Robert Alexander

Overview

It's the fall season of freshmen year. Strap on your helmet and get ready for action. Join Josh, Mike, Bob, and Tommy as they play for the Bonny Park Bulldogs. The goal is to win the City League Championship. High school isn’t just about football; there are the girls, Cindy, Mary Lynn, Melissa, and Lisa. In addition to trying to win on the field, there are the dances, the Freshmen Talent Show and the local bully and troublemaker. It’s not easy being a freshman but with good friends, it can all work out.

The freshman year of high school presents all kinds of new experiences and “First Down, First Love” introduces some great kids with real life challenges.

The Bonny Park High School Book series will cover the four years of high school and the summer and holiday breaks of the kids. The second book, Point, Set, Match will include girls’ volleyball activity and boys’ basketball. The series will have the main characters interact with other kids in the school. Good sportsmanship and character issues will be dealt with as well, as the importance of academic achievement. As the time moves on, the issues, problems escalate in seriousness.

The books will be fun, exciting, and serious at the same time.
