But when Lily's parents and coach start pushing her to fill Jana's cleats, the pressure to be like the all-star striker is too much. Can Lily find the strength to be herself? With a glossary, writing prompts, discussion questions, and extra soccer info, this fast-paced Jake Maddox sports story is a win-win for both educators and students!---from the publisher
