Parker Stanhope has played soccer practically since she could walk. And now that she’s a high school junior, everything she’s worked for is finally coming together. She’s paid her dues on the field, and as an upperclassman, she’s a shoo-in for the varsity team. But that’s not what happens.
This year, Coach Hartley moved up every JV player but two—and one of those two was Parker. Now, she’s stuck with the freshmen, her friends are cutting her loose, and her love of the game is seriously beginning to fail. But Parker is determined to get her life back. She has to get on the varsity team, and she has the perfect plan. All she needs now is the right kind of coach.

      Gr 6-10-Parker Stanhope only wants one thingto be on her school's varsity soccer team with all of her friends. What she actually gets is another year on junior varsity surrounded by freshmen and the brush-off from her so-called friends. In response to this depressing series of events, Parker comes up with a foolproof plan to get back on the team that involves her older brother's friend, an annual carnival, $300, and a kiss that the whole school will see. Along the way she meets Tristan, her cuter than cute neighbor, who, after hearing her desperate situation, offers to give her kissing lessons to make that big final kiss look and seem totally believable. As you'd expect, these "lessons" turn into much more than just a teaching situation. Unfortunately, this storygirl ends up liking the guy she least expected to with some madcap adventures along the wayhas been told before. Parker's voice doesn't come across as real; she sounds more like how adults think teenagers would talk instead of how they actually do. For a better "I can't believe I'm falling for this guy!" book, suggest Robin Benway's "Audrey, Wait!" (Penguin, 2008). An additional purchase for libraries with a well-used chick-lit section."Traci Glass, Eugene Public Library, OR"

      As a junior, Parker is stunned and disappointed when she doesn't make the varsity soccer team with her friends. She cooks up a plan to move up from JV, which involves taking kissing lessons from Tristan, a freshman. Parker discovers she has feelings for Tristan and consequently finds a true friend. The setup's preposterous, but Parker and Tristan make an appealing couple.
