Description

Now that everyone knows Casey’s a boy, he’s on the boys’ soccer team and he loves to play soccer—the rush of the game, the exhilaration of his mightiest kick and the fun with his friends. He messes up and makes a big mistake but what matters is he’s trying and getting better with his family and teammates behind him all the way!
