Mia’s back and going for the goal in the 4th Front Desk book.
⚽️
Everyone’s talking about the World Cup coming to LA and it’s Team USA vs. Team China! Meanwhile at Mia’s school she’s earning a C in PE, still afraid to play sports, even though her family has health insurance now. Mia is dying to attend a writer’s workshop, but must have the grades for it so she makes a deal with her coach: if she can get an interview with either Team USA or Team China, she’ll get a better grade in PE. Mia’s unsure who to root for in this match, as she’s from China, but lives and has a home in America now. As Mia tries to track down each team, she realizes both her identities matter—not just one.
