Summary of Game Changers The genre of Game Changers is sports. The setting for this story is in Rockwell in the present. The main character is Ben Mcbain. The problem in this story is the Rockwell Rams started off there season 0-2 and still need to make it to the championship. As the season goes on though the Rams don’t lose a single game and end up 6-2. They are now in the championship against the Patriots. It was a very close game but Rockwell ended up winning. I like this book because it shows friendship, loyalty, and teamwork.
