I read this when I was like, 15 years old or so, maybe 14 and I was a volleyball player back then. I really identified with the main character Keli and her situations and fears. I loved it at the time. Right now I'm 20 years old and just ordered another copy cuz I lost the one I had back then which I got it at a volleyball tournament and was the best gift I gave to myself at that moment. Never got to read the sequel but I'm into that right now.Can I Play?

Liked the book but the writing wasn't good in my opinion. I can't find the sequel! Please tell me where I can find "We Can Play!"
