Summary

A  Prequel to Quester:  Harry Quester tries out for the Trucker Team!

A Perfect Season is the fictional story of a High School Football Team that seeks and finds excellence amid the turmoil of growing up, led by a dynamic and controversial Coach with a questionable past. It is based on the 1954-1955 Season of the Churchland High School Truckers, located in the suburbs of Portsmouth, Virginia. During that season, the Truckers were unbeaten, untied and unscored upon, a feat seldom if ever repeated.

The story begins as Harry Quester (yes... the same Harry Quester in the novel QUESTER, but now sixteen years old and a Junior in High School) comes to the village of Churchland near Portsmouth, Virginia and tries out for the Churchland Truckers, a team with a rough and tumble reputation. Will the "New Guy" make this team of "Straights", "Hoods" and "Farm Boys"? The setting is urban Virginia in 1954, the days of iron man football, rock n' roll, fast cars with fins, hot bobby soxers, drive in restaurants, cheeseburgers and pizza pie. 

Harry finds out immediately that Coach "Shotgun" Braun is not to be messed with. He is "the toughest Coach alive" and demands heroic performances from his players every day. Here Harry also meets quarterback Allman Buddinger (Yes, the same Allman Buddinger in QUESTER and THE MUD FOX), Captain of the team, clown and prankster extraordinaire. 

What happens when Harry takes his girl to see the Mysterious "Light" in the Great Dismal Swamp? What prank does Allman pull on Harry at the Sock Hop? Will the powerful Truckers be able to win all their games... remain unscored upon... and how do they do it? Can they beat Suffolk High School, who they have never before beaten?  Will the Truckers get to play for the State Championship against the unbeaten Woodrow Wilson High School Presidents? What happens when Shotgun's enemies try to use his somewhat sordid past to have him fired just as the Truckers are to play Suffolk?

This novel will take many back to the "good ol' days"... and transport others back in time to days of High School innocence, romance and adventure!
