Bookroo's summary

Bea's life is changing with a new stepfamily, but her biggest challenge is off the field. Her school might not get the promised all-girls soccer team. As Bea rallies her friends to fight for their right to play, she learns the power of teamwork and discovers that building a new life doesn't mean leaving her old one behind. Will Bea and her squad score a victory both on and off the field?

From the publisher

Girl power scores a goal in this uplifting story of teamwork, new beginnings, and coming together to fight for what’s right–perfect for fans of Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.Bea and her mom have always been a two-person team. But now her mom is marrying Wendell, and their team is growing by three boys, two dogs, and a cat. Finding her place in her new blended family may be tough, but when Bea finds out her school might not get the all-girls soccer team they’d been promised, she learns that the bigger the team, the stronger the fight–and that for the girls to get what they deserve, they’re going to need a squad behind them. Lauded as “remarkable” by the New York Times Book Review, Lindsey Stoddard’s heartfelt stories continue to garner critical acclaim, and her latest novel will have fans new and old rooting for Bea as she discovers that building a new life doesn’t mean leaving her old one behind.
