The soccer season is starting, and Mo has been working hard on his kicking skills so he can help his team, the Billy Goats, score a goal. But when he gets on the field on game day, it seems like all he gets to do is run back and forth. Will Mo ever get the chance to show his team what he can do?
Praise for Kick It, Mo!:

"Another winning title in the popular series." --School Library Journal

"Simple in its storytelling, strong in its diversity, this is an entertaining as well as enlightening read." --Kirkus Reviews

"The youngest, smallest kid on each team, Mo works hard to learn and improve his skills. Who could begrudge this unlikely sports hero the good luck that comes his way in each book? Not a kid who's working hard to master a similarlycomplex, difficult challenge: learning to read." --Booklist
