Stepsiblings clash in karate, but can they uncover the real conflict?
Levi's world is turned upside down when his new stepsister, Sofia, dismisses karate as a sport, only to join his dojo. Their rivalry intensifies, but when Sofia's attempt to break a board ends in tears, Levi must look beyond their sparring to understand her true struggles. Can he bridge the gap and find harmony in their shared passion for karate?
Levi can’t believe his ears when his new stepsister, Sofia, insists that karate isn’t a real sport. But he’s even more shocked when Sofia suddenly joins his karate school. Why is she there? And why can’t she be more respectful toward Levi and his friends? Soon, the sparring between the new siblings turns into an outright competition–until Sofia tries to break a board and has a breakdown instead. Can Levi put aside his feelings to figure out what’s at the heart of their karate clash? Find out in this exciting, easy-to-read chapter book by Jake Maddox!
