If you love American football and irreverent puns (there’s even a character named Bavid Deckem), this book is a must read for you.

Slick works for the Bad Bay Hackers, and they need a new thrower. When talented scout Slick Fullbelly spots Dunk Hoffnung bringing down a Chimera with a spear from a hundred paces, he's sure that his search is over.
