Friday Night Lights, 25th Anniversary Edition: A Town, a Team, and a Dream

The 25th anniversary edition of the #1 New York Times bestseller and Sports
Illustrated’s best football book of all time, with a new afterword by the
author

Return once again to the timeless account of the Permian Panthers of Odessa—
the winningest high-school football team in Texas history. Socially and
racially divided, Odessa isn’t known to be a place big on dreams, but every
Friday night from September to December, when the Panthers play football,
dreams can come true.

With frankness and compassion, H. G. Bissinger unforgettably captures a season
in the life of Odessa and shows how single-minded devotion to the team shapes
the community and inspires—and sometimes shatters—the teenagers who wear the
Panthers’ uniforms.
