When Devin moves from Connecticut to California, the seventh grader is shocked to discover that her new school has "the world's worst soccer team." She quickly makes friends and works to turn the team around. The story follows a predictable arc, but Morgan, an Olympic gold-medalist, does a good job conveying the difficult balance between working hard and having fun.
