Summary:
All sports at school will be banned unless Tess Munro, a 13-year old 7th grader, gets people from her community to vote for taxes to increase. She tries to keep her grades up in every class, and play soccer as much as she can. She teams up with a cheerleader and goes around her neighborhood to get people to rally votes. Tess has soccer practice almost every night at the same time each weekly levy meeting is held. She loves her teammates and her coach a lot. Tess will do anything to keep sports at her school. If she doesn't get enough votes, will it still have been worth it?
