by Aadya Yeramalla (Author)

New school. Zero friends. One massive secret.

For fourteen-year-old Alexia, moving to Manhattan is a total disaster-until she finds the one place she truly belongs: the soccer field. There's just one problem. Her father has completely banned soccer from the house. Once a legendary superstar on the pitch, a devastating injury and a wave of toxic bullying forced him to walk away from the game forever, trading his cleats for a basketball.

If he catches Alexia playing, she's grounded until graduation. Just when Alexia thinks she's finally found a crew of real friends to help her navigate the city, she overhears a devastating secret: the very teammates she trusts are planning to sabotage her at the upcoming championship competition.

Trapped between her dad's painful past and her team's betrayal, Alexia is running out of time. Can she survive the sabotage and claim victory on the field, or will her father uncover the truth before she can take her final shot?
