Bookroo's summary

The Bailey School soccer team finally has a chance to win with Coach Graves, until a mysterious old woman casts a spell, turning her into a zombie-like figure. As the big game approaches, the kids must unravel the mystery and save their coach. Will they succeed in time, or will their season end in disaster? Dive into this thrilling tale of teamwork and supernatural surprises.

From the publisher

The hugely popular early chapter book series re-emerges with a new look! Brand-new eye-catching cover art brings a modern feel to this classic monster series for young readers. The Bailey School soccer team hasn’t had a lot of success, but their new coach seems like the woman to help whip them into shape. Coach Graves is a little rough around the edges, but she’s good at what she does. That is until a strange old lady turns up at one of their practices. After that, Coach Graves has a vacant look in her eyes, mumbles and groans in response to the kids, and moves like she’s back from the dead. Can the kids break the spell and bring their coach back to normal in time for their big game?
