But there’s so much to learn – new rules and positions and strategies … Lately, it seems like soccer is the only thing she can think about.
When she finds out she’ll have to wear a dress (gross) and dance in front of a hundred people (terrifying) at her cousin’s upcoming wedding, Sam feels like she’s all but had enough. So why isn’t her best friend Indi supporting her? And why is school bully Chelsea suddenly a bit … nice?
Will Sam be able to mend her friendships – and score a few goals in the meantime – before it’s too late?
