Tim Green, for many years a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, is a man of many talents. He's the author of such gripping books for adults as the
New York Times bestselling
The Dark Side of the Game and
American Outrage. Tim graduated covaledictorian from Syracuse University and was a first-round draft pick. He later earned his law degree with honors, and he has also worked as an NFL commentator for FOX Sports and NPR.
His first book for young readers,
Football Genius, inspired in part by his players and his own kids, became a
New York Times bestseller and was followed by
Football Hero,
Football Champ,
The Big Time, and
Deep Zone. He drew on his experiences playing and coaching Little League for
Rivals and
Pinch Hit and two more
New York Times bestsellers:
Baseball Great and
Best of the Best.
Bestselling author Jon Scieszka called Tim Green's
Unstoppable, a book about a boy's struggle with cancer that debuted at #2 on the
New York Times bestseller list, "Absolutely heroic. And something every guy should read."
Tim Green lives with his wife, Illyssa, and their five children in upstate New York.
