Our Review

This three-book collection follows a determined young athlete named Kitty as she navigates the challenges and triumphs of competitive sports, blending vivid game sequences with meaningful friendships and personal growth. Each volume explores a different athletic pursuit—from soccer fields to basketball courts—while maintaining a consistent focus on perseverance, teamwork, and sportsmanship that will resonate with middle-grade readers. The stories balance exciting play-by-play action with relatable school and family dynamics, creating an engaging world where sports serve as the backdrop for character development.

What sets this trilogy apart is its authentic portrayal of youth athletics without sacrificing emotional depth, making it particularly valuable for children who participate in team sports or struggle with competition anxiety. Young readers will appreciate how Kitty faces realistic setbacks—missed shots, team conflicts, and balancing practice with schoolwork—and learns resilience through each challenge. The collection’s emphasis on personal improvement over winning provides a refreshing perspective that parents will appreciate, while the fast-paced narratives keep pages turning right up to the final buzzer.
