Will has played soccer with the same friends his whole life until a Crohn's disease flare takes him off the field for a season. He has to work out who he is at school when he is not the kid on the team.
Why we picked it
The season a kid cannot play is a season that happens in most soccer families, and this book treats the social loss as seriously as the physical one. It is gentle and it does not end with a miracle recovery.
