READER'S FAVORITE 2020 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDAL WINNER: Young Adult Non-Fiction - In recognition of excellence in writing.


October 20, 2018, was just another normal Saturday in college football - or so it seemed. Amid all the matchups discussed on ESPN that day, it was a special video featuring the harrowing story of Tyler Trent - along with his bold, yet accurate, prediction that Purdue would upset Ohio State - that captured the hearts of millions. The Upset chronicles so much more than just an inspiring battle against the seemingly impossible opponent of osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. A brilliant young statistician and sportswriter, Tyler faced his own mortality, and his life reflects the remarkable eternal upset only experienced in faith, family, and authentic community.
