In the Zone

Spring season continues and the Kicks are working their hardest to be champions. But Emma’s confidence takes a dive after tripping and letting a shot go into the goal. Embarrassed by the blunder, she’s not sure if she’s cut out to be a goalie.
Devin tries to help Emma, but she’s dealing with uncertainties of her own. The cute new boy at school asks Jessi to go to the movies with him and some other friends, and she accepts, leaving Devin, Steven, and Cody behind.

With everything so uncertain, will the Kicks be able to stay in the soccer zone?

I loved the whole series, just wish she had talked to her goalkeepers to know that a real goalkeeper never gets called a “goalie” and doesn’t land on her face because it’s bad form and super dangerous! Great series otherwise, though!

This book was good. I love how Emma persisted through her challenge, and got back to being goalie. I understand the pressure that she had.

This was a nice light read, with lessons on overcoming fears and sportsmanship and not being mean.
