Bookroo's summary

Ella McKeen rules the kickball field until Riya arrives, challenging her reign. As Ella grapples with defeat, her dramatic reaction unfolds before her classmates. Will she learn to be a good sport, or will her emotions get the best of her? This playful tale explores the ups and downs of friendship and competition on the playground.

From the publisher

In her debut picture book, Beth Mills offers a pitch-perfect look at recess, friendship, and being a good sport. First grader Ella McKeen is the undisputed kickball queen until a new girl named Riya shows up–and shows her up at recess. How does Ella handle losing? By throwing herself on the grass and screaming while the rest of the class watches her fall apart. Yikes!
