About the Book

Kristy Barrett is a soccer star. She's been a star since elementary school, and now is so good that she's been told she may someday make the women's Olympic team. Everything changes in an instant, when a blow to her head during a game results in a severe concussion. It's not her first head injury, but it's the worst one she's ever had. The doctors say it will take time to recover; they don't know how long. All Kristy knows is that her team is moving on without her, and her purpose--soccer--is gone, and she doesn't know what to do, or even who she is. Her days are marked by pain and panic attacks. Through two unexpected new friendships and insightful therapists, Kristy starts to rebuild her life. The question is, will her new life include soccer? Sports injuries are a reality of competitive play, for both male and female athletes. Here is a story that athletes and other readers will relate to as they navigate middle-school and their own identities.

Review :
A Bank Street Center for Children's Literature Best Book of the Year "Kristy Barrett has always attracted attention on the soccer field: ... She was special. This phrase has been repeated her whole life. Now, as a seventh grader, Kristy is starting on the varsity girls' soccer team, dominating players who are several years older than she... But after she's kicked in the head while diving for the ball, she suffers a traumatic concussion. Suddenly, Kristy is a different person--and no one seems to understand her or what she needs or even how to talk to her now that she's not that special soccer player. Preller's careful pacing matches the fuzziness and slow healing of Kristy's brain, introducing readers to the realities of the pain, loss, and feelings of isolation that dedicated athletes experience when they can no longer play. ...Strong themes of healing (both physical and emotional), family, and friendship abound. An introspective and realistic coming-of-age story about rediscovering oneself."--Kirkus Reviews "Rife with strong metaphors and powerfully realistic characters."-- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB)
