Eighth-grader Nate Osborne is a forward on his soccer team, the Strikers. Like the rest of his team, he can get competitive, especially when it comes to playing against their rivals, the Monarchs. The Strikers desperately want the Monarchs to lose. They even root against them when they play other teams.
During a game against the Monarchs, Nate has to decide between going for a goal after a player on the rival team gets injured or kicking the ball out of bounds as an act of good sportsmanship. His aunt has always taught him the importance of fair play, but will he lose the support of his team if he does the right thing?
Out of Bounds is an entertaining yet thoughtful story about young athletes struggling with teamwork and sportsmanship.
