Pilar Ramirez loves ice-skating, and she's never let the fact she was born without part of her right foot hold her back. So she's decided to join the hockey team. But being a rookie isn't easy, and what's worse, a fellow player accuses Pilar's newbie mistakes of hurting the team. Can Pilar up her game and prove to her teammate-and herself-that she belongs on the ice? Each book in Jake Maddox Girl Sports Stories features easy-to-read text, fast-paced action, plus back matter support materials to make it a winning read.---from the publisher
