Ten: A Soccer Story
Author | |
Abstract |
2017 Honorable Mention - Freeman Book Award for Young Adult/Middle School Literature Maya is a passionate soccer fan eager to start playing soccer herself. This is extra challenging because soccer is considered a "boys’ game" in Malaysia in 1986. She teaches herself basic soccer skills with only her mother and a potted rosebush as training partners, then gradually persuades enough girls to join her to form a team, all the while trying to keep her unpredictable biracial family together. Reading Maya’s witty, observant first-person narrative will make readers want her on their team, and they’ll cheer her on as she discovers that winning is great-but losing doesn’t mean defeat.
