Gr 4-8-Faith has just joined the Bloodhounds, the middle school girls' soccer C team, made up of the least skilled players. But this isn't one of those heartwarming sports stories where an inspirational coach rallies the underdogs to victory. Instead, these Dogs lose every game and feud with one another while the coach spends most practices on his phone. Vignettes show the players' varied home lives, interests, and friendship dramas. Sketchy full-color artwork features characters with exaggerated expressions. Faith and her teammates are diverse in body type and ethnicity. One player comes out as trans and another as queer during the course of the story, and both have supportive friends. Readers who like a touch of romance will enjoy seeing two sweet relationships blossom on the page. Realistic scenes of school, soccer practice, and sleepovers are interspersed with Faith's daydreams about adventures on horseback with a handsome butch royal messenger named Mathilda, who inspires Faith to unite her misfit teammates, team or no team. VERDICT A down-to-earth friendship story for readers of Svetlana Chmakova's Awkward, Jennifer L. Holm's Sunny Side Up, and Raina Telgemeier's Drama.-Sarah Stone, San Francisco Public Library

pinkmonkey9 - I just read this book with my book club, and I think it is really cool. I like how all of the girls on the soccer team are all cool in there own way, None of them are copying each other. And my Favorite person in the book is Faith. Faith is really cool and is the main character. I love Faith because she is artistic, Nice, the main character, and Just because I think she is really cool. The character that I'm not a big fan of is Amanda, I don't hate Amanda I'm just not a big fan of her. I'm not really sure what my favorite part is all I know is that the book had a lot of cool and interesting parts. I recommend this book.
