Shutout is a very good book if you like soccer. I really liked this book because I can almost relate to it because I play soccer. It shows how determined they are to make the varsity team.It talks about 2 girls who are going to be freshmen and are trying to make the varsity soccer team. When Ms. Beasley reads the names of the people who made the varsity team Amanda and Leana start to worry. When Amanda didn't her her name but Lena heard hers they were both upset. When something happen to the varsity team right before the most important game of their season what will the JV team do? I would recommend his book if you like soccer or if you are interested in soccer. This book was soooo good! I kept on reading and reading and couldn't stop. This book was about this girl named Amanda who plays soccer with her friend Lena. One day they went to soccer practice to see if some girls got moved up to varsity or stayed a junior varsity. And coach Beezer read the names and said Lena, but didn't say Amanda. Amanda was mad at the coaches because Lena gets to be on the varsity but Amanda doesn't. Later on Lena started hanging out with the seniors from the varsity team. Amanda was jealous of Lena because all the guys went to her and not Amanda. Lena was invited to a senior birthday party and she wanted Amanda to come with. While they were at the party, Lena and Amanda were asked to have some beers, Amanda didn't but Lena did. Amanda didn't like what was going on at the party so she left. Lena and Amanda's parents didn't know that they were at the party so when Amanda got home she couldn't lie to her parents so she told them and then Amanda's mom called Lena's mom and got Lena in trouble and then Lena was blaming Amanda for everything and they weren't friends anymore. So now Amanda made a new friend named Shakina, and they go to yoga class together. One day the varsity girls played a game and won, and after that game they had a party to celebrate. but things got out of hand, they had to many beers. the next day at school they were all doozy and out of the blue. So they got called to the office because they were hungover. And they had a state championship game coming up and they got suspended from that game. So the coaches had no other choice but to have the JV play the game. Amanda was sooo nervous but she put it all together and told the rest of the team to just have fun and its just a soccer game. So they were playing good. The score was tied and it started raining which gave them more energy. And the ref blew the whistle and the winning team was...........
