Synopsis
Scott Parry is not only the new kid, but he's also the clumsiest and smartest kid in school. Chris Conlan is the school's golden boy and the quarterback of the football team. Scott joins the football team, which causes him to cross paths with Chris. Initially the two seem like the unlikeliest pairing in the world, but a shared secret pulls them together.[3]
Reception
Two-Minute Drill received reviews from the Horn Book Guide, School Library Journal, and Kirkus Reviews.[4][5]
gollark: I sort of like writing JS but feel guilty about it because my code will inevitably break when it hits an error condition of some sort and/or a dependency implodes, Rust is a much nicer language in various ways but stricter when I *do not actually care* about shaving off a few ms and garbage collection is fine, I tried OCaml but the tooling isn't *great* and the libraries seem to be lacking.
gollark: It's among the least bad ones though.
gollark: I NEVER really felt entirely satisfied.
gollark: If there was a programming language which I found satisfying to use, I would be significantly happier with programming.
gollark: I mind MANY programming languages.
