Imagine you moved you were so sad that you couldn't say anything? Well that is how Alex felt but not because she was lonely but because she left behind her old soccer team.When Alex first got to her new school she saw a big sign that said soccer team tryouts today! But will Alex make the team?
I like this book because I can relate to it. Like when I had just moved I could barely say anything. I also like this book because Alex is so determined just like me. If I were to rate this book I would give it a five!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rate it a five because the book is funny and taught me a lesson that is never give up. My favorite part is when Alex saved the team. At the end I felt that I could do things even if they are really hard.
I would recommend this book to all kids that love soccer and are really determined and never give up. I would recommend this book to ages 4 through 14.
