| Publisher Description: The third book in this fun series by Andrea Montalbano about a group of friends and the lessons they learn through their love of the world's most popular sport--soccer Chloe Gordon is super excited to attend summer soccer camp with her Soccer Sisters and fellow Breakers team members Makena Walsh and Val Flores--even though she's not quite as skilled as the other girls and her parents would rather she be spending her time practicing ballet. But when Chloe arrives and she discovers that the Breakers' arch rival, Skylar Wilson, is rooming down the hall, Chloe worries that her camp experience will be more stressful than fun. Will the Soccer Sisters be able to band together and ignore Skylar's bullying? And can Chloe overcome her fear of not being good enough in time for the big inter-camp match? Fans of Alex Morgan's The Kicks will love this series by former soccer player, coach, and motivational speaker Andrea Montalbano. |
