Kicks

A California earthquake is just the first in a series of chain of events that shakes Devin's confidence: she fails a test in a subject she knows well, her crush seems to have his attention on another girl, and worst of all, her soccer game is off, so now Devin, the girl who usually inspires confidence in her friends and teammates, will have to turn to them for support.

"Devin is spotted by an agent who wants her to model athletic wear, and soon she is juggling photo shoots, soccer games and practice, family time, and other activities"--Provided by publisher.

"Devin's team thinks she is taking too much credit for their winning streak and she must keep the team together"--Provided by publisher.

"Devin and the rest of the team must figure out who is trying to sabotage them before the playoffs start"--Provided by publisher.

Devin visits her best friend, Kara, in Connecticut but the visit goes very badly, distracting Devin just before the Kicks' first playoff match.

With the playoffs over, Devin and her seventh-grade friends decide to try out for a soccer travel team, but friendships are threatened because not everyone makes it on to the tough, competitive team, and in the mean time the girls are faced with a crisis--budget cuts threaten to eliminate the soccer program at the elementary school Devin's little sister attends.

Devin has to deal with some contention between members of her team, the Kicks, and hostility toward their rivals, the Roses.

In the weeks leading up to the state championship, Devin and the Kicks have many distractions, including a contest with the boys team to see who can get more fans to watch their games.
