Fourteen-year-old Zane Mitchell thought his biggest challenge this fall would be making the Hilltoppers football team. He was wrong. Just weeks after surviving a deadly showdown during baseball season, Zane is trying to get back to normal life—until he uncovers a chilling new threat. The terrorist group DATA is planning an attack on Washington, D.C., and the key to stopping it is hidden somewhere on his own football field.

But Zane isn’t the only one searching. Someone on the team is working for DATA. Someone who knows Zane. Someone who may be closer than he thinks. With time running out, Zane and his friends must uncover the traitor, find the device, and stop
a catastrophe before it’s too late—all while surviving punishing tryouts and the pressure of Friday night lights. Hidden enemies, high-stakes plays, and a deadly game of deception await.  The stakes couldn’t be higher. Every play counts. One wrong move could mean game over—for everyone.

Action-packed and full of twists, Football Spy is the next thrilling installment in Zane’s high-stakes journey, where football isn’t just a game—it’s life or death.

Scott Reister gets to live out his childhood dream with his job as an award-winning sportscaster, traveling the country and covering incredible stories and events. He and his wife live in Iowa with three children, any one of which may be a spy. Football Spy is his second middle grade novel, following his critically acclaimed 2024 debut, Baseball Spy.
