About The Book

Rocky Race loves football so much that she moved to the United States to train at a high school with an amazing soccer team. She's made new friends, even won a state championship! Now her best friends from her home in Melchester, England, have come to play a match against her new American team. Rocky is so excited!

But when her friends arrive, not everyone gets along. Her American friends don't understand why the British call it 'football', and her British friends don't understand why the Americans call it 'soccer'. And with the match the next day, Rocky feels pressured to pick a side. But Rocky has a plan.

Will Rocky be able to take the lead and show everyone that they're all united by their love for the game?
