No one believes a girl can play, except for Coach Alicia, who recognizes Camila\u2019s gift. When she receives an offer to play in the US, the land of the multi-World Cup champion women\u2019s team, she can hardly believe it.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">And then Diego, her childhood sweetheart who made his professional f\u00fatbol dreams come true, wants to take her away with him to Italy where he plays.

As the oldest helping to care for her baby sisters while their mom works two jobs, Minnie doesn\u2019t often get to be childish and dreams of being the first Latina president of the United States. A tiny part of her would like to believe in such fantasies, though, which is why she also dreams of being cast as Wendy in their school\u2019s production of Peter Pan.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Those dreams are put on hold when one day mam\u00e1 doesn\u2019t come home. Days pass and Minnie is determined to keep her mother\u2019s disappearance a secret and keep her sisters out of foster care while she tries to figure out what happened. Meanwhile, small gifts appear and unexpected, helpful coincidences occur. Could it really be peques like her sisters insist? And if it is, could they bring their mother back?<\/p><\/div>\n\n        \n\n        \n        \n        \n                <p class=\"book-rights\">DRAMATIC RIGHTS<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Please contact
