Booklist - 12/01/2022 Maya Jenkins’ biggest goal is to join the Chargers’ soccer team, just like her dad has always wanted. Maya doesn’t necessarily enjoy the long practice hours and the intense competition, but she knows that these things are necessary components to becoming a great soccer player. When Maya’s world gets turned upside down and her parents decide to separate, she does what she’s always done: rely on her “Wheel of Fortunes” to guide her. The problem is that sometimes all of your answers can’t simply come from a fortune cookie. Collier’s newest novel is an exploration of family dynamics, self-discovery, and friendship. Collier’s protagonist learns how to deal with the disruptive changes in her world, coming to terms with who she is both as an individual and as part of a community.
