Today I read Nancy Clancy soccer mania. Nancy does not like soccer but she dos not want to be bad at it. She says she only wants to be mediocre. Mediocre means average or middle. When she was playing soccer she fell and scraped her knee. She wondered if it counted as a soccer injury and she could miss the game on Saturday. She hoped she could hand out water instead. Lionel is also bad but he was on anther team. He also said he would dress up as a green goblin and cheer them on. He came over to her house dressed as a green goblin and he scared Nancy’s younger sister Jojo. Bree, Grace and the twins played soccer at recess but Nancy and Lionel played on the jungle gym instead. Lionel saw a bee and Nancy went crazy. They got to the game and the other team was short a player and they did not forfeit. Instead they got someone from the green goblins to play on their teem. Nancy got picked with straws. Grace’s mommy was really mean. She said Grace hustle more. And watch out for number 8., you’ve got eyes use them. She also said number 3 kicks wildly. Do you realize you missed a chance to score? You had the ball. Why did you pass to Clara? She’s the worst on the team.
This sounds like a funny book! I guess Nancy Clancy found out that a skinned knee is not really a soccer injury. I like that you gave lots of good details about what you’ve read. I hope you inspire someone else to read this book, too!
