A fantastic series starter about a group of friends and the lessons they learn about friendship, life, and family through their love of the world's most popular sport—soccer!

Makena Walsh absolutely loves soccer. She knows it's the best sport around and she feels lucky that the teammates on her super competitive and super skilled team, the Brookville Breakers, feel the same way. The girls always have and always will be Soccer Sisters. But when a new person joins the Breakers, everything changes. Skylar is a great player and really cool—but she also doesn't always play by the rules. Makena, hoping to impress Skylar, starts acting out and running wild, off and on the field.

With a huge tournament looming, Mac's got tough choices ahead. Choices that will affect her family, her friends, and the game she loves. Can she stay true to what the Soccer Sisters believe in and win the big game?

        Gr 3-6-An empowering first entry in a female-centric soccer series focusing on putting personal values before fitting in with the cool kids. Makena (Mac) Walsh defines herself through soccer, particularly her close bond to her "soccer sisters" on her team. Her teammate Chloe leaves the league for ballet summer camp, and Skylar joins the team as her replacement. Skylar is the embodiment of cool, with her spiky, multicolored hair and temporary tattoos. Mac quickly falls under her spell, both on and off the field. But Skylar isn't just a risk taker; she'll do anything to win or get her way. Mac quickly realizes the thrill of excitement is too close to the fear of discovery. When high jinks escalate to lying to her family and friends, Mac must choose between Skylar's friendship and her soccer sisters. With a professional soccer background, Montalbano grounds the story with details and writes fast action scenes. The book targets soccer players specifically, but sports lovers of all kinds will be able to orient themselves using the handy glossary of terms. Characters are likable and well developed, with particular resonance for female readers. The length and simplicity make this selection ideal for reluctant readers. VERDICT A general purchase for its exploration into an underdeveloped genre, and a solid recommendation to soccer fans and sporty kids.-Jessica Bushore, Xenia, OH
