"Cody Dorsett is no longer the kid with cancer, or the soccer player always sitting on the bench. He is the striker on the Lions soccer team--for now. But Cody begins to question everything when skilled new player Stafa joins the team. Will Cody lose his position as striker, or will he even be forced back on the bench? A feud breaks out and the Lions begin to unravel. To figure out who he is--both on and off the field--Cody has to make peace between resentful teammates, face down bully Timothy from their rival soccer team the Storm, and somehow figure out how to get the Lions to the playoffs. On top of that, Cody's parents are thinking of moving. But does he even want to stay now that his best friend has to leave the country and the girl he likes is acting distant? Cody also wants to put his brush with cancer behind him, but what stands in front of him seems even scarier"-- Back cover.
