Description
Footie makes Megan's dreams come true when she becomes the goalie for a new girls football team.
Quick Summary
Footie meets fairy tale in this clever story where a girl swaps princess vibes for goalie gloves and learns that real magic happens on the pitch with your teammates. Kids will cheer for Megan as she tackles self-doubt, deals with skeptical teammates, and discovers that being the odd one out sometimes makes you the most valuable player. If your kid loves "Kick" by Mitch Johnson or any sports story about underdogs who rise to the challenge, they'll absolutely score with this one. Perfect for ages 8-11 or grades 3-6, especially for young readers who want strong female characters and a fun, fast read about friendship and football.
