Book Synopsis
A beautiful coming-of-age story for fans of Front Desk and Merci Suarez Changes Gears, this award-winning book celebrates identity, language, heritage, family, and the determination to follow one''s own inner light. Now in paperback!

Have you ever been the best at something . . . only to lose it all?

Luz Veliz is a soccer star-or rather, she was a soccer star. With her serious knee injury, it''s unlikely she''ll be back on the field anytime soon. But without soccer, who is she? Even her dad treats her differently now-like he doesn''t know her or, worse, like he doesn''t even like her. When Luz discovers she has a knack for coding, it feels like a lifeline to a better self. If she can just ace the May Showcase, she''ll not only skip a level in her coding courses and impress Ms. Freeman andintriguing, brilliant Trevor-she''ll have her parents cheering her on from the sidelines, just the way she likes it.

But something-someone-is
