You are Phil “fixer” Halverson, center for the Chesterton Middle School Dragons. At 6’1”, you’ve got the height to get the job done (as long as it’s not a free throw!). They call you “fixer” because your defensive skills are practically legendary. You’re fast and graceful, and on the court, you’re in control—at least, you used to be. Problems at home are finding their way into your game. Your mom is always upset, your dad is always at work, and your little brother is always in trouble. Your focus is off and it’s beginning to show. Will trying to fix things at home ruin things on the court?

You are Kevin Faklaw and you live to play soccer. Your flip-throw is outstanding, and Darrington High School's coach just offered you a varsity spot as a freshman. Sounds good, right? But actually, things just got pretty complicated. You have a lot of difficult choices to make. Should you take a season off from the soccer club you love, to face intimidating upperclassmen on the field? Should you tell Chuck Grady, the varsity goalie, to quit making googley eyes at your best friend, Autumn? And, how will you ever get your parents to let you attend Olympic Prep Soccer Camp in Holland next summer? Well, only you can decide.
