Theresa K. (Tesstarosa) -
Kaylee O'Shay has been playing soccer for her father's soccer team and has recently started doing Irish dance at the Trean Gaoth Academy. He father is a former champion soccer player and he wants Kaylee to follow in his footsteps.
Kaylee's not so sure that soccer is where her dreams lie. She really likes Irish dancing and has made some really good friends at her dance school. Unlike her soccer team where the top players poke fun of her and call her âO'Shrimpâ and she really only has one very good friend.
Then one day, it happens â there is an important soccer meet and an important Irish dance event on the same day. Kaylee will have to choose which she will do.
I enjoyed reading this story. It really takes you into the mind of a middle school girl. The pressure to fit in, the desire to please your parents and the desire to pursue your own dreams -- three things that rarely line up for any kid.
*This is a young adult fiction book â I read it because I gave it to my nieces for Christmas 2009.
