Twelve-year-old Nick loves soccer and hates the dictionary his linguist dad makes him read, until injury, bullying, and his parents' separation shake up his year. The story unfolds in fast, playful poems packed with word play.
Why we picked it
From the Newbery-winning author of The Crossover, a soccer-obsessed hero makes verse feel effortless for reluctant readers.
