About the Book

Franco Harris's immaculate reception in 1972. Marcus Allen's run to glory in Super Bowl 1984. Tom Dempsey's 63-yard game-winning field goal in 1970. Deacon Jones's notorious sacks in game after game from 1961-1974. Every aspect of football showcases science, from throwing to hitting to running to catching. Momentum, velocity, force, and more are on full display in these game-changing football plays.

About the Author :
Some of Allan Morey's favorite childhood memories are from the time he spent on a farm in Wisconsin. Everyday he saw cows, chickens, and sheep. He even had a pet pig named Pete. He developed a great appreciation of animals, big and small. Allan currently lives in St Paul with his family and dog, Ty, who keeps him company while he writes children's books.

Review :
With thrilling play-by-play action explained through science, these books are sure to score big with readers. Each title focuses on a single sport, breaking down the physics behind the game's most dynamic moves. Chapters spotlight the greatest plays in sports history, narrated with the excitement of a sportscaster, delivering lines like, "Only three seconds left on the clock!" Readers will be hooked from start to finish. The science is seamlessly woven into the action, making it an integral part of the narrative rather than an afterthought. Readers will absorb key physics concepts effortlessly, as the explanations enhance the drama rather than detract from it. The balance is perfect--enough science to intrigue without overwhelming. Action-packed color photos, graphics, and illustrations immerse readers in the game, bringing the described plays to life. An index, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading provide opportunities for deeper exploration. VERDICT A must-have for all sports collections!--Kate Rao, Willows Community School, CA "School Library Journal" As its title claims, the Sports Illustrated Kids: The Science behind the Plays series uses legendary sports achievements to introduce basic physics concepts. Each book breaks down four noteworthy events, setting up context, identifying challenges, showcasing superstars and their amazing athleticism, and explaining the application of the various energy forces that made each feat possible. The standardized formats feature colorful graphics, sidebars, references, and such user friendly features as short sentences, brief chapters, vocabulary words defined along page edges, and stop-motion photos that support the step-by-step action. Goal describes Cristiano Ronaldo's 2018 stupefying upside-down and backwards bicycle-kick soccer goal (motion, friction, and gravity--or defying gravity, in this case). Home Run revisits Ozzie Smith's 1978 daring bare-handed catch while explaining speed, velocity, and the differences between potential and kinetic energy. Swish brings in acceleration, mass, and leverage to describe how Kobe Bryant set up Shaquille O'Neal for an epic alley-oop during the 2000 Western Conference Finals. Lift, direction, drag, and resistance work together to explain Terry Bradshaw's 1972 immaculate reception football pass in Touchdown. The physical properties, referred to as unseen forces, are repeated and reinforced throughout the series. One regrettable oversight: out of the 16 case studies cited in the four titles, only one features women (England's 2022 national soccer team). Still, the eye-catching covers and brisk action sequences are sure to attract and enlighten audiences.--Kathleen McBroom "Booklist"
