 Archie is a sophomore at Granada High, fairly well adjusted, with only one problem: his dad was a star high-school athlete, who married the homecoming queen, and dad insists that his only son, Archie, be a jock. Trouble is, Archie s short. Dad makes him a deal: make a team, any team, and Arch can have the Ford Focus. So Archie tries out for every sport, dreaming of the car and of Brittany O Malley, the most popular girl in school. Brittany knows something that changes Archie s life.
