The Last Chance

In The Last Chance, the third book in the middle-grade trilogy, soccer star Teresa Rodriguez ditches school graduation to make one last solitary run on her beloved soccer field. She and her teammates haven't won a championship yet and their career together seems over. Or is it? Somehow, they may get one last chance to lift a trophy, even as Teresa fights to bring her dad home and her family struggles financially. It becomes one last summer together for the Tornadoes, eight weeks of intense training and battling older and better teams in the Elite Summer League in New York City. They teach soccer to local kids in the morning and battle tough teams on the field in the afternoon. The beauty of friendship and family are front and center as Teresa, Gabby, Bee, Bunny and Bianca make one last run, helping each other survive and thrive, while trying to win that one elusive championship.
