Susie Strickland has been kicking a ball around ever since the day she could walk. It is her favourite thing in the whole wide world to do! Susie practices every chance she gets and, because she practices so much, she is the best striker in her whole school! 
One day, Susie is on her way to school when she gets splashed from head to toe when a boy riding his bicycle past her purposefully rides through a big puddle. He thinks that what he has done is very funny indeed. Susie, needless to say, does not agree. 
Later that day, Susie goes to soccer practice as usual. She and her team-mates are introduced to a new team-member. His name is Spencer and – that’s right – you guessed it…he is the very same boy who splashed her that morning! 
Now, the fact that this boy splashed her on purpose on her way to school is bad enough. But then Susie learns something else about him.

Game day arrives. Susie’s team is not doing so well and the coach decides to replace her with Spencer.
