Book Reviews of Twelve Mighty Orphans: The Inspiring True Story of the Mighty Mites Who Ruled Texas Football

Book Review: A New Favorite.
Summary: 5 Stars

Maybe it's because I am from Fort Worth, and I consider myself to be an AMATEUR local historian; however, I just could not put this book down! I read the entire thing in one night, because I couldn't stop. The story is gripping...makes you laugh, makes you cry. This should definately be made into a movie, if it isn't being done already.

Occasionally I'll drive by the Masonic Home and imagine it in all its football glory.
