Book Review By Matt O'Keefe
Soccer Duel by Matt Christopher

Remmy is a moderately new kid to his town. A star player at his old middle school, he's stuck at the benches on the soccer team. But when the Yellow Hornet's center striker, Issac, gets injured, Remmy takes his place. His team won against the Yellowjackets, an undefeated team. Their star player, Bryce McCormack, acts friendly towards Remmy in the hopes of learning how far his skills go.   By the third game of their two out of three play-off, they're each wishing each other luck.
