About this title

Synopsis

Peyton and Eli Manning are now NFL superstars, but they are still kids in Family Huddle. Readers of all ages will follow along as Eli and Petyon pile into the car with older brother Cooper for a trip to visit their grandparents. Their dad, former NFL star Archie Manning, is
at the wheel. The boys joke around and play football at every opportunity. Readers learn about the famous family and football too, as the boys run fun plays like the buttonhook, quarterback sneak, and hook and ladder.

Family and football have always been a big deal in the Manning family. Family Huddle is based on some of the Mannings' memories from their days in Louisiana and Mississippi.
