Another SVK book with sexism as an underlying theme. In this one, Elizabeth and Eva want to try out for the school soccer team, but all of the boys in their class tell them that girls can't play soccer because they're cry-babies, despite the fact that they all play soccer together in the park on weekends. Todd emerges as the worst of the lot, which I found a bit confusing, as they can't seem to decide in the Kids series whether he's a good guy or not. He doesn't even apologise when he's proven wrong. At least in this one the adults come out in support of girls being able to play sport just as well as boys, even if I'd have preferred the boys got punished in some way for their sexist behaviour.

I think my favourite part of this one is how it depicted Jess and Liz's relationship—that Jess struggled with the twins wanting to do different things, but supported Elizabeth anyway.
