Underdogs like Hoosiers Curly Lambeau's Ghost A Rocky-like High School Love Story The Scrub is a coming-of-age YA story of three adolescents facing insurmountable challenges. Janus is at odds with his football coach; his best friend Barnaby's physical therapist is bullying him, and Asha's alcoholic father controls her life. Yet, the three friends remained determined to overcome the odds and succeed. The story shines a light on high school's emotional ups and downs. And how often students exist in their private worlds of inner torment. On any given day, you can reach soaring heights or just as easily be beaten down into a dark pit of despair. Despite constant personal setbacks, our trio of plucky friends persists. But when Janus' fortunes reach rock-bottom, fatherless and on his own, he has only one place left to turn-he seeks guidance from the ghost of Curly Lambeau, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach. With dark forces closing in, is it too late for our three friends to fight back on their own? Or will they accept coach Curly's advice that you will always be more powerful through loyalty, friendship and teamwork than going it alone?
