A review by Mr. B. from the Grandview Branch:
It’s all
about doing the right thing. It’s all about finding yourself. It’s really all
about finding yourself by doing the right thing for your friend. In this
role-model series title, Owen Foote,
Soccer Star, Stephanie Greene shows young readers that doing what’s right can be
tough but satisfying.
Second grader
Owen Foote has been playing soccer for several years, but his best friend,
Joseph, is new to the sport; naturally awkward; inexperienced; unsure of
himself; and only playing to please Owen. Owen, in turn, has promised to
protect and mentor best friend Joseph. When Coach separates the team by skills
and plans to play just the best players, Owen has to make some tough choices
and a very difficult phone call.
