Illustrated by
Susanna Natti.
Louise's dreams of soccer stardom are dashed when newcomer Trelawney Hunt gets the coveted center-forward position and lucky number-seven jersey. The tension between the girls is diffused realistically, if somewhat predictably, when Louise discovers that she and Trelawney share another common interest: computer games. Louise's jealousy is humorously conveyed in the illustrations.
