Following in the steps of her hero, Lionel Messi, Ceti is a shooting star on the field. A U.S. scout is coming to watch her play in the State Championship; she has Ruby, her best friend since kindergarten rooting for her, and a crush on a boy who lives in her building, Will. But at home, she'll find a spoon in the sink, a ball of tin foil and a needle in the trash. Her Mom, who used to be beautiful with her long honey hair and green eyes is now wasted and track-marked. And she is pregnant. Ceti's life goes up and down with a mother who wants only the next high. Her Mom's menacing and goofy boyfriend Foxface is always hounding Ceti; their junky friends start a fire in Ceti's apartment; and on the day of the semifinals, Ceti finds her Mom bleeding profusely. She steals a new iPhone for her Mom but is caught and disqualified from playing in the Championship game. Then Ruby decides on private school for next year, and Will stops hanging out with Ceti. When her Mom promises they can start over in New Hampshire, Ceti is hopeful. Instead, she finds her Mom has overdosed. Ceti, too, would be one more dream slipping away if she didn't have the courage to hold on to what she loves the most. 650 0 $a Women soccer players $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of drug addicts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dysfunctional families $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Young adult fiction. 655 7 $a Novels in verse. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032507.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220201012012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA0C9E64832C11EC91F9F9F449ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
