Since they were six-year-olds, Madison and Dayton have had soccer sync. Maddie doesn't have to see her best friend on the field to know where she'll be. Her passes to Dayton are perfect, as if the two of them can read each other's mind. Together, they're a scoring machine. There's only one problem: lately, Dayton seems more interested in partying than playing soccer. And Dayton's change of heart couldn't have come at a worse time. Now that she and Maddie are sophomores, they have to really focus--or they'll have no chance of making it to a Division I college team. Can Maddie get through to her best friend? Or will the scoring machine break down? No library descriptions found. |

This is a cute story that moves a bit too fast. It would've benefited from more depth of the characters.
Madison and Dayton are lifelong friends who have a special sync on the soccer field. When Dayton starts to skip practices, Madison fears her own prospects for college recruitment are going to disappear.
Madison is very focused, but I wanted more depth to her. Her desire to go to a Division I school and play soccer was well-written and believable, but there wasn't much more to this girl. Even as she tries to adjust to Dayton's new lifestyle, Madison thinks only of soccer.
Humann writes some great soccer scenes. The game really comes alive on page. I've never been much of a fan of the game, but I found myself following the details with ease.
Recommendation: Fans of Miranda Keneally and Tim Green might enjoy this sports tale. (
