Girl power scores a goal in Bea is for Blended, an uplifting story of teamwork, new beginnings, and coming together to fight for what’s right!
Bea and her Mom are Team Ember, a two-person mother-daughter team who always have each other’s backs. With her feminist grandmother, Aunt Tam, and her bestie Maximillian by her side, she’s always been happy with her quiet life. But right as she’s about to start middle school, her mom marries someone new and their two-person team grows by three boys, two dogs, and a cat. If adjusting to a new blended family and a loud, crowded house wasn’t enough of a challenge, Bea is tired of being the Most Valuable Girl on the boys soccer team and is determined to start a girls team at her school. Coach Meesley isn’t making it easy, though, favoring the boys every step of the way – they get new uniforms, more practice time, and never seem to get in trouble when they act out.
With help from some super supportive teachers, her new neighbor Aileyanna, and her teammates, Bea is determined to prove to everyone, especially Coach Meesley, that the girls are just as good as the boys and deserve equal treatment and respect. She discovers her inner courage and unleashes her girl power both on the field and at home, learning that teamwork is just as important in soccer as when it comes to family.
Girl power scores a goal in this uplifting story of teamwork, new beginnings, and coming together to fight for what’s right—perfect for fans of Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.
Bea and her mom have always been a two-person team. But now her mom is marrying Wendell, and their team is growing by three boys, two dogs, and a cat.
Finding her place in her new blended family may be tough, but when Bea finds out her school might not get the all-girls soccer team they’d been promised, she learns that the bigger the team, the stronger the fight—and that for the girls to get what they deserve, they’re going to need a squad behind them.
