Description
Mia Tang is playing to win!
The Women's World Cup is coming to California, and everyone has football fever—especially Mia! But when her PE teacher gives her a C, Mia has to pull up her grade by scoring interviews with the championship teams. It's not so easy when...
1. The two teams are hunkered down in secret hotels in Pasadena and not taking any media requests.
2. Mr Yao is back at the motel—as a co-owner! Jason is sure his dad deserves a second chance. Mia is not so sure.
3. Mia's parents are trying to buy a house of their very own, which turns out to be a lot harder than they thought!
As Mia aims for her goals, she'll have to face strikers from all corners, as well as her own fears. But if anyone can find a way to win big, it's Mia Tang.
The fourth book in the Front Desk series—following Mia Tang as she plays to win!
