Bookroo's summary

Lola Levine loves soccer, but an intense game leaves her classmate injured and her reputation tarnished as 'Mean Lola Levine.' With her family's support and her best friend Josh, Lola must find a way to make amends and prove her true character. Can she use her creativity and determination to turn things around and navigate the challenges of second grade? Discover how Lola's big heart and unique spirit guide her through this heartfelt journey.

From the publisher

Lola Levine likes writing in her diario, sipping her mom’s cafe con leche, eating her dad’s matzo ball soup, and playing soccer with her team, the Orange Smoothies. So what if she doesn’t always fit in? Lola is fierce on the field, but when a soccer game during recess gets too competitive, she accidentally hurts her classmate Juan Gomez. Now everyone is calling her Mean Lola Levine! Lola feels terrible, but with the help of her family, her super best friend, Josh Blot, and a little “pencil power,” she just might be able to turn it all around. In this first book in a series, young readers will be inspired by Lola’s big heart and creative spirit as she learns to navigate the second grade in true Lola style!
