About this audiobook
Girl power scores a goal in this uplifting story of teamwork, new beginnings, and coming together to fight for what’s right—perfect for fans of Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.
Bea and her mom have always been a two-person team. But now her mom is marrying Wendell, and their team is growing by three boys, two dogs, and a cat.
Finding her place in her new blended family may be tough, but when Bea finds out her school might not get the all-girls soccer team they’d been promised, she learns that the bigger the team, the stronger the fight—and that for the girls to get what they deserve, they’re going to need a squad behind them.
Lauded as “remarkable” by the New York Times Book Review, Lindsey Stoddard’s heartfelt stories continue to garner critical acclaim, and her latest novel will have fans new and old rooting for Bea as she discovers that building a new life doesn’t mean leaving her old one behind.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My new favorite word is bullsharky. Bea's life is changing without her consent. Her mom is marrying Wendell and having a baby. Wendell has two teen boys and a son Bea's age, the bully-following Bryce. And they have two dogs and a cat. Bea must move from the quiet condo she's shared with her mom since she was two weeks old. She and Maximilian can't walk into each other's houses anymore. She can't knock on Aunt Tam's wall. There's a new girl across the street from her new house and she's a stuck-up, soccer show-off. AND the principal (weaselly Mr. Meesley) is putting up every barrier he can to deter them from forming a girls' soccer team.But Bea has some people on her side to help her, including her mom and grandma who have taught her not to put up with any bullsharky, and two teachers who are supportive observers, listeners, and action-takers.You can't help but root for Bea and the delightful cast of characters in this elementary/middle grade book.
