Description
Lily Davis' big sister, Jana, has recently left home for basic training, and Lily really misses her soccer idol. But when Lily's parents and coach start pushing her to fill Jana's cleats, the pressure to be like the all-star striker is too much. Can Lily find the strength to be herself? With a glossary, writing prompts, discussion questions, and extra soccer info, this fast-paced Jake Maddox sports story is a win-win for both educators and students!

About the Author
Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler - or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps - literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers. Since graduating from Loughborough University School of Art and Design in 2004, Katie Wood has been a freelance illustrator. From her studio in Leicester, England, she creates bright and lively illustrations for books and magazines all over the world.
