About this item

by Harvey Araton (Author)

Zane Hamill, known to his family and friends as Z, begins his seventh-grade soccer season on a nationally ranked team that has steadily climbed the competition ladder. But on the morning of his first game, he wakes up with a pit in his stomach that feels like a humongous meatball.

Once coached by his dad, who was seriously injured in a car accident that Z thinks was his fault, he is no longer surrounded by best friends, those who played alongside him since kindergarten. With the team gunning for a tournament in Las Vegas, the stakes are high. The pressure is on. As a team's best passer, the glue that holds it together, Z struggles with the balance between playing for keeps and playing for fun. Without the guidance of his dad, he must decide what role soccer should play in his life. He must uncover the goal of the game.
