Book overview

All midfielder-extraordinaire Teresa Rodriguez wants to do is win a soccer championship with her best friends and celebrate by dancing on the field. However, when her world comes crashing down when her father is deported, Teresa must learn to juggle family responsibility, team leadership, new friendships and her quest to win. The middle-grade trilogy is about a girl's love of soccer, how family and friendships create unbreakable bonds and how a girl and her teammates overcome obstacles on and off the field. The trilogy - COUNTERATTACK, THE COMEBACK and THE LAST CHANCE - follows Teresa and the Tornadoes from summer before seventh grade to rising ninth graders. It's an exhilarating and inspiring sports story set in our complex and troubled times.
