    Emily Costello

    Paperback (Skylark, Oct. 13, 1998)
    AYSO rules say teams must be re-organized every season--including the Stars. With great luck, some of the girls get to stay together. Tameka, Tess, Lacey, Fiona, Geena, Nicole, and Yaz are assigned to the same team. Everyone misses the old Stars, but the new team is hardest on Tameka. Her dad is now the coach and he's so concerned about not favoring his daughter that he goes overboard the other way. Tameka never gets to play her favorite position, and gets yelled at for every mistake. The new Stars must rally to solve Tameka's problem--and discover some new team spirit along the way.
