Play On (Sports Stories, 73)
2005
Overview
Hi-lo books, aka high interest low vocabulary books, absolutely must have that first ingredient high interest if they are to have any hope of keeping reluctant readers actually reading. Because Play On lacks a strong central focus, it will likely lose many of its readers as they search for something to sustain their interest. Alecia Parker, almost 14, plays for the Burrards, a Vancouver soccer team that is coached by her stepfather, Jeremy, who has just recently also become her adoptive father. Two of Alecia's friends, Conner and Laurie, are dating, but Conner believes that Laurie, who is also Alecia's teammate on the Burrards, wants to break up with him, and Alecia finds herself in the middle, not wanting to have to choose between them. Alecia becomes involved in yet another romance as a further teammate and friend, Anne Yeung, wishes to see a boy, Tyler, romantically but knows her father would not approve of her dating.
