Dumb Jock: Book Three At age sixteen, Todd Hoffman is a social outcast. He lives with his mother in a rundown mobile home and doesn't wear the nice clothes or drive fancy cars like the other students. He has one outlet: he secretly writes fan fiction about a boy falling in love with another boy he's crushing on, and posts it online. When Galen Caulfield, Todd's real life object of affection, notices him and asks him out, Todd feels like he's living his fantasy. Soon enough he realizes that fantasy and reality are two very different propositions. Galen is the high school soccer team captain, clearly out of Todd's league. On top of that, he's popular, good-looking, and confident, so everyone thinks he's straight. Now it's up to Todd to decide whether Galen is the boy of his dreams or just another dumb jock.
