Featured Title: The Ultimate Goal (Good Sports League #1)
The Ultimate Goal (Good Sports League #1)

A funny, heavily illustrated new chapter book series about sports and sportsmanship by the acclaimed author of Game Changer

Ben Cutler loves everything about soccer! He’s got a great team, and they have the best pre-game chants and half-time jokes. He and his best friend, Jay-Jay, even invent dances for when they score a goal! And Ben is good at soccer. Like REALLY good. Too good for a casual rec team. Soon, he’s recruited for a travel team.

His new team plays amazingly well, but they take soccer super seriously. No pre-game chants, no juice-box breaks, and the most important rule of all: NO DANCING. Even though his new team is winning all the time, Ben is left to wonder: Is winning all that matters in the end?
