About this ebook
Eagle Blue follows the Fort Yukon Eagles, winners of six regional championships in a row, through the course of an entire 28-game season, from their first day of practice in late November to the Alaska State Championship Tournament in March. With insight, frankness, and compassion, Michael D'Orso climbs into the lives of these fourteen boys, their families, and their coach, shadowing them through an Arctic winter of fifty-below-zero temperatures and near-round-the-clock darkness as the Eagles criss-cross Alaska in pursuit of their-and their village's-dream.

This guy is suppose to be a "famous" author yet can't even get a kids name right in the book. There's no person in Fort Yukon, Alaska by the name of Barney Carroll. That alone shows how half @$$ this book is. Plus he lied to me and added something in the book that's wasn't suppose to be in there. Ever since I first read it, I was hurt by his lies til this day.
