Bullying, self-doubt, and family problems are common themes in these popular, formulaic sports-centered titles. Characters include foster kid Peter, a dirt biker; basketball player Mel, a victim of racial prejudice; and football-playing twins Michael and Tom, who may be telepathic. The heroes, not always winners on the field, inevitably conquer their inner foes. These editions are sturdily bound and feature large type.

Can Michael and Tom read each other's minds? Michael and Tom Curtis are identical twins who share a love of football. Unfortunately, because of a tragic accident, Michael must watch from the sidelines as his brother calls the plays on the football field. During one game Michael concentrates very hard on a play he thinks could help the team, and Tom calls the exact play a split second later! Is it coincidence, or can the boys communicate through ESP? The boys try a daring experiment in which they push their telepathic powers to the limit ... and suddenly, impossibly, Michael is running the ball for a spectacular touchdown!
