Have you read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald? Gordon Korman's 44th novel for young adults is kind of a modern take on the Great Gatsby theme. According to Gordon, this means "It's about popularity, social status, and, wild, wild parties." Jake (formerly Jacob - but you don't find that out until the end) is good looking, popular, and the best long snapper on the Bronco football team that F. Scott Fitzgerald High School ever had. Jake has a secret that his best friend, Rick discovers. Is he too late to help Jake? Read this book, guys. You'll like it!
