Jake was a scoring star on a great team, but a town redistricting drops him onto the worst squad in the league. He learns to lead, to pass, and to make weaker teammates better instead of chasing his own goal count.
Why we picked it
A clean, quick read about the kid who has to swallow his ego for the team, exactly the lesson a lot of youth players need.
