Oddrey is an imaginative girl who thinks outside the box. When she joins the school soccer team, the Piccadilla Bees, she doesn't play the same way as the other kids. With the big game against the Quagmire Crushers approaching, can she convince the team to work together and still be true to themselves?
What kids will love:
- the high-interest subject matter
- the funny, action-packed illustrations
- Oddrey's quirkiness (you never know what she will think of next)
- the unexpected ending
What parents will love:
- the book touches on being unique and the importance of teamwork (without being preachy)
- winning isn't the reward, unlike most underdog stories
