Owen Foote, Soccer Star by Stephanie Greene

Owen Foote knows that soccer is the greatest sport in the world. He's so excited about being old enough to join the town soccer league that he has talked his best friend, Joseph, into signing up too. But Joseph turns out to be terrible at soccer. That's not the only thing troubling Owen: the other kids on his team, the Aliens, seem to be bigger and older and better at soccer than he is, and at least one of them is mean. But Owen isn't about to give up his best friend or his favorite sport without a struggle. Readers will cheer for Owen as he and Joseph face new challenges on and off the field and come up winners.

Stephanie Greene is the author of the Owen Foote series, as well as three prior Sophie Hartley novels and a number of other children's books. Greene lives in Durham, North Carolina, after graduating from Vermont College's MFA program in children's writing.
