Description
Rejoin the Soccer Sisters in this latest installment—full of friendship, teamwork, and soccer fun!
Val Flores has always loved being a Soccer Sister. She and her best friend Makena have been part of the super competitive Brookville Breakers for a long time now, and she knows there’s nothing that could break them—or the team—up.
But when the other girls start talking about the winter dance and going boy crazy, Val begins to feel out of place. It doesn’t help that her teammate Jessie has been acting super weird and later tells Val the team would be better off without her.
When the Breakers play a game against El Fuego, a team from Val’s school, she wonders if she should switch sides. Is Val’s time with the Breakers up? Does she belong as a Soccer Sister after all? And should she quit while she’s ahead—even if it costs her team the indoor soccer championship?
Advance Praise
“The Soccer Sisters series isn’t just about soccer. It’s about friendships, family, and the awesome thrill that comes from winning. It’s also fun.” —Carl Hiassen, New York Times bestselling author
"This is exactly the kind of book I wish I'd had the chance to read as a girl." -Brandi Chastain, Olympic and World Cup champion
“Solid sports fare for soccer aficionados with a look at how race and class affect kids' friendships.” -Kirkus
“Montalbano’s second series entry maintains the
empowering tone of the first book while introducing more complex themes of
social justice. The story remains full of soccer action sequences that are
skillfully written to engage readers. The book is rounded out by a lengthy
soccer term dictionary to bring unfamiliar readers up to speed…the engaging
characters will appeal to a broad segment of middle grade readers. A
recommended purchase for discussing racial stereotypes and microaggressions in
a sensitive manner for younger readers. A winning combination of sports,
self-respect, and friendship.” -School Library Journal
