Middle School and turning 13 ain't for wimps!

More DescriptionMiddle School and turning 13 ain't for wimps! Throw in a scrungy soccer team with a rookie keeper, only a couple of ringers, but a whole lot of heart, ...and you'll be witness to challenges that would cause any middle school kid to salivate at just the mention of next week's game! Every town has a hometown favorite team, and Hopetown's no exception. But, as we all know, there's also always that pesky, but highly-talented, if also highly-cheating ne'r-do-well team that nobody can seem to beat. Couple that with a kid who's got a war-vet alcoholic uncle moving in with the family, and it'll make for some mighty entertaining-maybe even thought-provoking reading. The soccer action is pretty intense; the crazy mix of players--from ringers to science geeks--will likely put a wiley smirk on your face and help you recall a couple of your own buddies, the ones with whom you've probably been stuck in some of the same convoluted predicaments, ...with soccer and with family. Soccer tells us a couple of things about life; and maybe life for many of us gets a whole lot better when it's seasoned with a good dose of soccer!
