Description
Nadia is playing for her local soccer team, and they have made it all the way to the national tournament--against some very determined opposition.
Unfortunately, Nadia's challenges don't just come from her opponents but from her teammates as well. After their coach is injured in a suspicious accident and the threats against the team mount, it is up to Nadia and her younger brother Devin to pull the team together and take a run at the championship. Another wild ride!

Reviews
"This book in the Graphic Guide Adventure provides plenty of soccer action; tips on how to dribble, pass, and protect the goal; and a solid mystery. Deas draws a multicultural cast, and it's also nice to see the best kicker is not a slender little girl. The story should appeal to both boys and girls."-- "Booklist"
"Deas' illustrations are full of life. This is especially true in the soccer scenes, where vibrant colours and a sure hand give the images the impression of real movement."-- "Quill & Quire"
"Soccer fans and just about anyone will enjoy reading this book whether they want to learn tips or read some mystery. It's definitely worth the read. Highly recommended."-- "CM Magazine"

Whether you like soccer or mysteries, this is a great book for curl up to. Recommended."-- "Southwestern Ohio Young Adult Materials Review Group"
