(4) YA Counterattack series. Each of these formulaic novels focuses on a player from the Fraser High School girls soccer team. Along with team dynamics and soccer action, the narratives concern such issues as homosexuality, family responsibilities, and eating disorders. Characters aren't very nuanced, but the topics and sports angle will help this hi-lo series find an audience. Review covers these Counterattack titles: Under Pressure, Offside, Archenemy, and Out of Snyc.
