Book overview

Elbow Joe was born to play football. But one MONSTER KICK sent him spiraling out of bounds and straight into the unknown! When he crash-lands in Ball Town, Elbow Joe is ready to bounce his way back to the game. But escape is NOT in the playbook! Running the show is the evil badminton birdie Madam Hairpin and her sneaky sidekick Roy the Tennis Ball. And there's only one BIG rule in Ball Town: no ball ever leaves! But Joe's got guts, grit, and a perfect spiral. He's not about to sit this one out. With his new pals Clyde the basketball, Rosa the soccer ball, and Wilma the volleyball, he's gearing up for the biggest comeback of all time! Can they outsmart the villains and escape from Ball Town? Or are Elbow Joe and all the other lost balls officially benched forever? Written by NFL superstar Dekaylin "DK" Metcalf, Elbow Joe is filled of teamwork, friendship, adventure, and big laughs.
