This was one of the cutest middle grade graphic novels ever. It was so fluffy, and had so many heartwarming moments, and an incredibly diverse cast of characters! It follows this young girl, Faith, who's been convinced to join her school's soccer team by a popular girl she wants to impress. The team is broken up into a few cliques, and there are some characters who seem to fit certain stereotypes (like the hot girly girls, or the punk band girls, etc.), but we're given tiny windows into their lives to see what makes them the way they are, or the battles they're quietly fighting (like the glimpse into the "mean girl"'s average morning that showcases loud, emotionally neglectful parents).

On top of how lovely the story line is and how well it reminds the reader to not judge based on appearances and to give everyone a fair chance, it also has so much rep it's incredible. There are characters of all sizes and skin colors (including a few fat girls and a hijabi, 2 reps we don't see much of in GNs!), and there's a ton of queer rep—Faith is questioning, a few girls are openly queer, and one character even comes out as trans during the events unfolding.

The whole book was absolutely precious and lovable, and I know this is one I'll be recommending for a long time to come.

Thank you so much to First Second for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
