Jimi & Isaac 1a: School Soccer

Jimi and Isaac think they're great soccer players. They've played for years, with Isaac's dad as their coach. But their new middle school coach has different ideas about...almost everything. Now they need to play tough, play smart, and score goals, not just play with style and good humor. Isaac is much bigger than he used to be, but that doesn't mean he's better. Jimi's frustrated with a lot of the changes that middle school brings. But he starts where he's at, and builds from there. Because that's how he gets better.

AWARD-WINNING Jimi and Isaac Books are focused books for focused kids. They can be read in any order. Pick a first book that matches the kid's interests, and then that kid will trust Jimi and Isaac enough to follow them into another area in another book.

In every book, a problem presents itself and the kids need to learn and work to solve the problem. They fail constantly, struggle to recover, and success is often a less limited failure. The books are short and fast moving so more readers can succeed, but they are not simple books. They're full of information and intellectual challenges.
