Description
Lizzie has just been named captain of the soccer team -- the boys' soccer team, that is. For a shy twelve year old, that's a problem. Lizzie never dreamed anything like this would happen when she asked if the boys and girls could play on the same team.
Now that the principal knows her name and the editor of the scool newspaper wants an interview, Lizzie wishes she could disappear. Worse still, the boys are treating the team as a big joke, and Lizzie just knows they have something planned to get even.
Find out what it is in this interesting new novel from John Danakas.
