Bookroo's summary

In a summer soccer league, Dewey London faces a dilemma: enter a logo contest to become captain or let his friend Bundy Neel, the better leader, take the helm. As artistic talent clashes with leadership skills, Dewey must decide if he should pursue his own ambitions or support his friend. Will Dewey's creativity win the day, or will friendship and teamwork prevail? The stakes are high, and the outcome could change their summer forever.

From the publisher

Dewey London and Bundy Neel are psyched about the new summer soccer league, until they learn about the contest to be team captain: Whoever draws the best team logo will be named captain. Should artistic Dewey enter even though Bundy would make a better captain?
