Praise"Troy's dad is aligned with a shady celebrity in the music business, and the titular "big time" refers to the buckets of money that could be Troy's if he follows his father's advice. Green proves to be as engaging about the business of sports and the kind of cheating it engenders as he is about the game itself." —Kirkus Reviews "The story moves along at a brisk clip, the language is straightforward and accessible..." —School Library Journal  |
