The last blog post I posted ended with Harrison, who is the main character, getting his leg cut off to remove a tumor from bone cancer. I may have explained about his determination that he had to just recover. When Harrison is in the hostpital getting chemotherapy, he meets a boy by the name of Marty. Marty has had cancer for a while, and he's in bad shape. He is a really cool boy, but he can't talk very well, because of the cancer and the chemotherapy. He meets Harrison, and just lifts Harrison's spirits by his fight and his humor even through how he looked, how he talked, or what he needed to survive. This inspires Harrison into just fighting to get back onto the football field, to just get to play and to just get that feeling he had before he lost his leg. Harrison's determination leads to an army general who also lost his leg to come and train Harrison into getting used to the way his life was gonna be from now on, even with his disability. Harrison's drive to be back to as normal he was before the cancer was discovered fuels him to push throught the hard training, and to just find hope that he will be able to play football again. While this happens, Marty and Harrison become good friends, and start talking just like normal friends would. But when Marty dies, Harrison's drive is just crushed. But even through this, he finds a way to push through it and go through with it all. Closing in to the end, he ends up learning how to run and with the help of the general, he learns how to from left to right with his prostetic leg. At the end of the book, he's on the football field with his white football cleats that show the name "MARTY" on them. He's on the kickoff team, and before the ball is kicked, he realizes that in all honesty, he is unstoppable.
