The Super Bowl. America’s biggest sports spectacle. More than ninety-five million fans will be watching.
But Steve Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson know that what they’ll be watching is a lie. They know that the entire offensive line of the California Dreams have failed their doping tests and shouldn’t be allowed to play. They know that the Dreams’ owner is trying to cover up the test results until after the game. They know that they are sitting on the biggest sports scandal of the decade. What they don’t know–yet–is how to prove it.
These two fourteen-year-old reporters have broken big stories before. In fact, their past successes have made them a little bit famous. But nothing prepares you for the sheer size of the Super Bowl. The players are huge. The hype is overwhelming. The egos are gigantic. And the money? Astronomical. So a Super Bowl scandal is by far the biggest story Steve and Susan Carol have tried to tackle–with the biggest opponents lining up to take them down. . .
