Inspirational.  That is the only word that comes to mind while searching for a description of this back.

Tyler Moore was a young man with cystic fibrosis.  Cystic Fibrosis is defined as "a chronic lung disease that causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs making it difficult to breathe.  There is no cure."

Tyler was an amazing person.  He wished to overcome this beast of a disease and join the school's wrestling team.  He did just that. 

By reading this book, you will learn about wrestling, you will learn about cystic fibrosis, but most importantly, you will learn about courage, determination, values and friendship.

This is a well written book. It flows easily.  The book is even more inspirational when you realize Tyler is a real person, not just a character in a novel.  It is a beautiful story.  This book is a testament to Tyler's life and his determination.
