Ten

Goal-oriented Maya has two main concerns: getting support and permission for girls' soccer and keeping her unpredictable biracial family together. At the same time she's trying to fit in at school, figure out who her true friends are, and dodge the criticisms of her traditional East Indian grandmother and the other relatives who say girls should be quiet and obedient. Maya's witty, observant first-person narrative will make readers want her on their team, and they'll cheer her on as she discovers that winning is great—but losing doesn't mean defeat.
 

Maya orientata spre obiective are doua preocupari principale: obtinerea sprijinului si permisiunea pentru fotbalul fetelor si mentinerea imprevizibilei familii biraciale impreuna. In acelasi timp, incearca sa se potriveasca la scoala, sa-si dea seama cine sunt prietenii ei adevarati si sa evite criticile bunicii sale traditionale din India de Est si a celorlalte rude care spun ca fetele ar trebui sa fie linistite si ascultatoare.
