About this book

"Lily James is a Soccer Sister. With the Brookville Bombers, her super competitive-and super skilled-soccer team, 13-year-old Lily plays hard and wins big. She and her teammates, including best friend Vee Merino, have hit the top of the league by running fast, passing straight, and following the Soccer Sisters Code, a list of ten unbreakable rules that keep the game clean and the victories sweet. But when Colby Wrangle joins the Bombers, everything changes. Colby's got crazy soccer skills, dyed hair, fake tattoos, and tons of attitude. She's the coolest thing that Lily's ever seen-and on the field, she'll do anything to win. Off it, she'll do anything to have fun. Soon Lily is sneaking out, lying-and trying to remember what made soccer so beautiful to begin with. With a huge tournament in Montreal looming, she's got tough choices ahead. They'll affect her family, her friends, the game she loves ... and the future of the Soccer Sisters Code"--Page 4 of cover.
