Mark Conway is staying with his grandparents while his parents fight over whom he'll live with after they divorce. He's become a valued member of the school soccer team and seems to be coping with the changes in his life. Or is he?
Gr 4-6Christopher intertwines play-by-play soccer action with a story about a 12-year-old boy coping with his parents' divorce. Mark lives with his grandparents while his mother and father try to settle a bitter custody battle. He quickly becomes a valuable player on his school soccer team, but Vince, captain and last year's MVP, resents him. With Grandpa Conway's help, the boy confronts his parents with his angry feelings and stands up to Vince, as well. The book delivers important messages without becoming didactic. In a satisfying conclusion, Mark acknowledges that ``Not all his problems had gone awaywhose ever would?,'' but his future looks optimistic. Competent storytelling with positive values.Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VA

The Comeback Challenge
The comeback challenge provides information on the life of a young soccer player. Mark Conway is my age so he is relatable. His parents are divorced and he is currently living in England with his grandparents until things get sorted out. He is a very skilled soccer player. However, his emotions tend to get the best of him. Will his parents ever sort things out? Will he ever get over his emotions? Read to find out!
I recommend this book to soccer players or athletes looking for a decent book. This book is packed with sports and is also slightly relatable due to his age. I give this book 3/5 stars because I am not that into soccer.
I thought that this book was pretty good. I'm not the biggest soccer fan but this book was still good enough to keep my turning the pages.
