Often self-published authors have a good story line but lack the ability to turn it into an interesting book. That is NOT the case with Jeff Weiss' book. He has created a football story that even a non-sports book reader can enjoy. Ivan is the place kicker on his high school team. When his kicking leg accidentally gets injected with gorilla serum during a camp-out at the zoo, not only does his leg turn hairy but his kicking power becomes phenomenal. His losing team suddenly becomes winners. The zoo veterinarian and his sidekick have a secret mission research project. Ivan is concerned about his whole body turning into a gorilla and at the end of the season he convinces the Doctor to give him anti-gorilla serum. The power of this book not only lies in the storyline, but in the creation of a book that can be read from upper elementary to high schooler who doesn't like to read. ( )

I was literally transported back to my youth with this book. The sense of that anything and everything is possible. A great read that the whole family can enjoy. The author's passion for life infects both his characters and the reader. I really hope this book takes off so that more people can have as much fun as I did reading Fourth and Ape, The Field Goal Kicker with the Secret Gorilla Leg! ( )
