false 1301898 3 New girl Lucy is desperate for friends. She tries out for Beachwood High soccer, but despite her amazingly accurate kick, fails to make the team. When the Coach points out that varsity football is looking for a new kicker, Lucy is skeptical. Football?

Review Lucy is an instantly-likable narrator. Her problems are complex and you understand why and you care pretty much straight-away.
