    About this ebook

    New York Times bestselling author Tim Green has written an unforgettable story—inspired by interviews with real-life cancer survivors and insider sports experience—showing a brave boy who learns what it truly means to be unstoppable.

    "Absolutely heroic, and something every guy should read." — National Ambassador for Young People's Literature emeritus Jon Scieszka

    If anyone understands the phrase "tough luck," it's Harrison. As a foster kid in a cruel home, he knows his dream of one day playing in the NFL is a long shot.

    Then Harrison is brought into a new home with kind, loving parents—his new dad is even a football coach. Harrison's big build and his incredible determination quickly make him a star running back on the junior high school team.

    On the field, he's practically unstoppable. But Harrison's good luck can't last forever. When a routine sports injury leads to a devastating diagnosis, it will take every ounce of Harrison's determination not to give up for good.

    With hundreds of thousands of devoted readers, Tim Green’s books are the perfect mix of accessible and heartwarming.  

    “I don’t know anyone–kid or adult—who won’t root heart and soul for Harrison. Unstoppable means you can’t put this book down!” —bestselling author Gordon Korman

    Tim Green

    Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping books for adults as the New York Times bestselling The Dark Side of the Game and American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR. His first book for young readers, Football Genius, inspired in part by his players and his own kids, became a New York Times bestseller and was followed by Football Hero, Football Champ, The Big Time, and Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for Rivals and Pinch Hit and two more New York Times bestsellers: Baseball Great and Best of the Best. Bestselling author Jon Scieszka called Tim Green's Unstoppable, a book about a boy's struggle with cancer that debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, "Absolutely heroic. And something every guy should read." Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York.

      Whoa! How Embarrassing!

      Sep 6, 2023

      I was out having lunch with my older brother and two of his friends. One of them is very cute and I always get a bit shy when he’s around. I was trying not to make a mess while I ate, but when I took a bite out of my burger the whole thing fell apart

      What I’m loving…

      Feb 16, 2024

      I’ve known Josie Borain for years, which is a lucky thing for me because she’s a proper human being: funny, self-deprecating, kind, absolutely honest, a great friend and a real force for good in her community. I think it must be almost impossible to

      I think it's a really meaningful book full of detail and well built characters. Great for ages around 15.
    • 5/5
      This book was great! It is a great book about a kid who does not give up after a rough first years of his life. Later he again proves this by going through cancer but still not giving up.

      Very enjoyable - I cared quite a lot about Harrison and what happened to him. This is a kids' book - it's not completely engaging for an adult - but I was very happy reading it and will recommend it to kids.
