Alexander
Graham Ptuiac, the son of an inventor, dreams of playing football. But his
dreams are thwarted by his lack of athleticism and overall lanky build. Like
any kid with a dream, Alex tries out anyway, just in case. If nothing else,
maybe he can win the role of water boy. So when Alex suddenly manifests
superhuman powers during football tryouts, Alex can’t believe his good luck.
He’s got game! But his new abilities can get him kicked off the team; unless
Alex can keep it a secret long enough to find out how the heck he got this way.
Enter Dex, a diminutive classmate who can somehow jump as high as ten feet in
the air. Now, Alex isn’t the only one at school with a secret. Except, the boys
have caught the attention of some pretty nefarious adults, intent on making
sure neither Alex nor Dex make it through the season.The only thing stranger
than Alexander Graham Ptuiac, accidental quarterback, is the shocking truth
about himself and his parents. When truth is stranger than fiction and adults
are out to get you, there’s only one thing to do. Play ball!

Alex
and Dex are local heroes. Suddenly, everyone wants to be friends with Alex, Dex
and Sophi.
But
someone more powerful than any of them lurks in the background, keeping a close
watch until it’s time to swoop in and capture them. Still, Alex tries to
maintain some semblance of normalcy — in the offseason, he wants to play
baseball. As Alex becomes a formidable pitcher, his powers grow and so does his
obsession with controlling them.
With
Alex finding less and less time for Dex and Sophi, Dex discovers his cat-like abilities
start to disappear soon after he starts spending time with a girl.
As
the friends struggle to maintain their friendships, that mysterious someone
gets closer and closer. Can the three friends find their way back to one
another before it’s too late? Or will middle school tear them apart for good?
