Ember Callahan has everything she wants: a championship-winning soccer team, a best friend by her side, and a dream of playing on the biggest stage someday. But when her family suddenly moves from sunny California to a small town in Kansas, Ember feels like her whole life has been kicked out from under her.
Now she's the new girl on a team that has never won state, stuck at a school where the local soccer star seems determined to make her miserable, and surrounded by cows, horses, muddy fields, and teammates who are unlike anyone she's ever known.
But as Ember begins to find her place with the Kansas Barnstormers, she discovers that winning isn't just about scoring goals. It's about courage, friendship, forgiveness, and learning how to keep going when life doesn't go your way.
And when a mysterious old man, a forgotten pond, and a secret from the past pull Ember into something bigger than soccer, she'll have to decide what kind of teammate-and person-she really wants to be.
Full of heart, humor, mystery, and fast-paced soccer action, PLAY ON is an inspiring middle grade story about resilience, belonging, and the power of never giving up.
