(3) YA As captain of his Maine high school's soccer team, Tom's focused on defeating their rival school. But the controversy surrounding his town's Somali refugees--some of whom are on the team--forces Tom to confront some larger, harsh realities. Told through Tom's genial voice, this coming-of-age novel unflinchingly tackles issues of class, prejudice, and religion, culminating in a bittersweet, community-affirming ending.
