Maria's world shifts when her family moves, and she's thrust into a summer soccer team. Unfamiliar with the sport, she fears failure and rejection. Guided by supportive coaches, Maria must decide if she can conquer her fears and discover a new passion. Will she find the courage to embrace the unknown and make new friends, or will her apprehension hold her back? Join Maria on her journey of self-discovery and bravery in a new town, where trying something new might just lead to unexpected joy.
From the publisher
Find the Courage to Try Something New
When Maria’s family moves to a new town, her parents sign her up for the summer soccer team to help her meet new friends. But Maria has never tried soccer before. She would rather be back on her old swim team. Maria is afraid she will be the worst player and no one will like her.
Coach Tony and Coach Lauren remind Maria everything is new at first. Maria will have to give soccer a try to see if she likes it. What have you wanted to try but were afraid to? Like Maria, you can have the courage to try something new, because who knows? That new thing you try might just become your next favorite thing!
