fun-filled middle grade series about believing in yourself and
working as a team.
Twelve-year-old Devin loves to play soccer. If she hadn't just left
Connecticut to move across the country, she would have been named
seventh-grade captain on her school soccer team.
But now that Devin is starting seventh grade in Kentville,
California, all bets are off. After all, some of the best players
on the US national team come from California. She's sure to have
stiff competition. Or so she thinks.
When Devin shows up for tryouts, she discovers that the Kentville
Kangaroos--otherwise known as the Kicks--are an absolute mess.
Their coach couldn't care less whether the girls win or lose. And
Devin is easily one of the most talented players.
The good news is, Devin quickly makes friends with funny, outgoing
Jessi; shy but sweet Zoe; and klutzy Emma. Can Devin and her
newfound friends pull together and save the team from itself?""
