This was by far one of the best books I have ever read. It was a story about a high school football player reggie and in his senior year he got tackled by another player, Nate Brown and Nate ending up getting injured on the play and was almost paralyzed for life. The play that Nate of injured on was on an interception by Reggie and Nate tackled him from behind and didn't use proper technique and ending up getting hurt very badly. But at the time Reggie had just got his first interception ...more
well, Reggie Scott, i think is the person in this book that changed the most in this book. he changed more in a mental way than anything. it all started with his interception in the high school football season opener. he caught the interception and was trying to run it back when someone hit him from behind.

I read I book from the orca series called Paralyzed. It’s about a senior football player named Reggie Scott. He does not have the name “stick-em” for no reason; he is the hardest hitting football player on the team! It’s their first home field game.

People say it was not his fault, he wants to believe them but he can’t get his head wrapped around the fact ...more

Would you want be in Reggie Scott shoes? My book is called Paralyzed its a real good sports fiction book it deals with Reggie Scott and Nate Brown mostly. Reggie Scott intercepted the ball then Nate made a dangerous tackle by running with is head down and made the tackle and he was just laying there and everybody didn't know what was wrong with him. Nate's mom was wreck and she kept blaming Reggie even though he didn't to it. I recomended this book to everybody its a real good book.
the book was very good it had a lot of good meaning to it.
The main character in the book is Reggie
i liked the book because it was about a teenager dealing with a huge problem.other people should read it to learn something
