Perfect for fans of Laurie Morrison and Jenn Bishop, this lively middle-grade mystery follows a vibrant group of teens and tweens navigating grief, authenticity, and--above all--soccer, while taking an enjoyable romp through the Texas Hill Country.
Every year, spring in Texas means two very different things to sixth grader Cassaty Greene: her beloved Barons Creek High School soccer team, the Battling Billies, will contend for the state title, and the anniversary of her twin brother's death will plunge her family into a deep, unspoken grief. But this year, the script changes when the Battling Billies' star midfielder goes missing right before the playoffs begin. Presented with this mysterious disappearance, Cassaty seizes the chance to heroically bring the missing girl home--and hopefully, in doing so, help fill the hole her brother's death left in her family so many years ago.
