Griffin Lane loves playing soccer in the local league. His three best friends are there. It's competitive but more relaxed than school sports. And he's right where he wants to be, playing defense out in front of the goal. But when the goalie is injured, everyone seems to think Griffin is the best replacement. Can he hack it between the sticks, or will his nerves win the day?

      Four seventh graders face athletic challenges: Griffin reluctantly steps in as soccer goalie (Between); Javon feels the heat as a relief pitcher (Relief); Torry becomes the go-to player on the basketball court (Pressure); and Marcus questions his value in the 4x400-meter relay (Baton). Each first-person narrative pulls readers through the anxieties and thrills of the game. Silly cartoons feel mismatched with the straightforward stories.
