Mia Tang is play to win! The Women’s World Cup is coming to Southern California, and everyone has soccer fever―especially Mia Tang! The U.S. team is playing China in the finals, and Mia feels like her two identities are finally coming together. But when her P.E. teacher gives her a C, Mia tries to pull up her grade by scoring interviews with the championship teams. It’s not so easy when . . . 1. The two teams are hunkered down in secret hotels in Pasadena and not taking any media requests. 2. Mr. Yao is back at the motel―as a co-owner! Jason is sure his dad deserves a second chance. Mia is not so sure. 3. Mia’s parents are trying to buy a house of their very own, which turns out to be a LOT harder than they thought! As Mia aims for her goals, she'll have to face strikers from all corners, as well as her own fears. But if anyone can find a way to win big, it's Mia Tang! - summary from the publisher.
My Thoughts: I Love this series and Kelly Yang! This book was perfect, and it gave me ALL the feels. I felt so bad for Mia as she struggled with how to be "American" even though everyone judged her as Chinese. I loved reading Jason's father's journal entries. It was interesting to see a different side of him. I loved the soccer moments - from Mia playing in school to searching for the players to meeting the players to the Big Game. My heart ached for Hank and what he went through. I loved the mathletes story. My heart hurts at all the racist comments and I just want to hug Mia!
