Left Out by Tim Green

All Landon Dorch has ever wanted was to be like everyone else. His deafness and the way he talks have been obstacles all his life. But now, he finally sees his chance to fit in. Bigger and taller than any other seventh grader in his new school, Landon plans to use his size as his biggest asset and join the school’s football team. But the same speech problems and the cochlear implants that help him hear continue to haunt him.

Just when it looks like Landon will be left out of football for good, Brett Bell—a star player whose family knows about being different—becomes an unlikely friend. But in the end only Landon can fight his way off the bench and through a crowded field of bullies bent on seeing him forever left out. A memorable stand-alone novel.
