Crash by Jerry Spinelli

Football hero and super-jock, John Coogan, earned his nickname, “Crash”, as a toddler, hurtling into others, wearing his first football helmet. Ever since, Crash has successfully bulldozed his way through life with little regard for others. His disdain for those less accomplished in sport and less expensive in dress, knows no bounds and every relationship is handled like a angry competition– especially when it comes to his geeky neighbour and classmate, Penn Webb, a vegetarian, Quaker, social activist and environmentalist. The irritating thing is that Penn remains steadfastly friendly! And he has the friendship of the hottest girl in school. But, when Scooter, Crash’s beloved grandfather, suffers a stroke, Crash’s belligerent attitude toward life, friendship and himself comes to a crashing halt.
