Overview

In The Comeback, the second book in the middle-grade trilogy, soccer star Teresa Rodriguez, now 13, is still striving for her first soccer championship, but her life now is even more complicated. She struggles with family responsibility; her best friend, Gabby, being shipped to a foster home; and the uncertainty about whether her father will ever return home. Meanwhile, once the season starts, Teresa is the captain as the middle-school Tornadoes tear through the league and Teresa shines. When Teresa's team faces racism on the field, this time she knows how to deal with it. In the end, Teresa may face Gabby in the championship game. How she and Gabby handle this will be the best lesson in friendship either could learn - and may put a new spin on how you define victory.

Praise for the Teresa Rodriguez trilogy: ""The Teresa Rodriguez Trilogy hits close to home! Thanks to Aronson for not only demonstrating so much passion for soccer, but giving insight on immigration, hard working parents & the big sisters that give it all for their siblings. Not everyday do we read about these kinds of events. So read about Teresa Rodriguez, you will be inspired & probably cry a little!"" - Karla K. Ruiz-Hernandez, South Bronx United, Soccer Coach/Mentor
