"Lola Levine is a joy, and even though she stops goals at soccer games, she could never stop readers from smiling as they eagerly wait for her next adventure.”
– Diana López, author of Confetti Girl andAsk My Mood Ring How I Feel

"Readers will cheer as Lola balances her troubles at school with the same smart skills that she uses to dominate the soccer field. A lovely bicultural character--and her richly drawn group of peers--promises a cherished new series.”
– Meg Medina, Pura Belpré winner for Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass"

"This first entry in a smartly crafted new series introduces Lola, best friend Josh Blot, and her family. The appealing protagonist is energetic and enthusiastic [and] with as much about family and friends as about sports, this chapter book should have broad appeal.”
– Booklist

"Beginning chapter book readers will enjoy Lola's spunk and humor. A good choice for chapter book collections.”
– School Library Journal

–Laura Fields Eason, Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School, Bowling Green, KY

" Readers already familiar with Lola will be happy for a return visit, while newcomers—like Bella—will learn to appreciate her vim and charm."
