Publisher Annotation: For as long as Robinson Hart can remember, it?s just been her and Grandpa. He taught her about cars, baseball, and everything else worth knowing. But Grandpa?s memory has been getting bad?so bad that he sometimes can?t even remember Robbie?s name. She?s sure that she?s making things worse by getting in trouble at school, but she can?t resist using her fists when bullies like Alex Carter make fun of her for not having a mom. Now...

Soon after her mother marries a man with three sons, sixth-grader Bea Embers fights to form a girls' soccer team at school, despite discrimination and setbacks.

Best friends Gabe and Oliver tackle family problems, bullying, and the challenge of dealing with the new kid in their sixth grade class, Reuben, who refuses to talk--and no one knows why.
