A winning story of girl power, family ties, and the importance of coming together to fight for what’s right, Lindsey Stoddard’s Bea is for Blended is an empowering middle grade novel for fans of Lisa Graff and Lynda Mullaly Hunt.
Bea and her mom have always been a two-person team. But now her mom is marrying Wendell, and their team is growing by three boys, two dogs, and a cat.
As if finding her place in her new blended family isn’t tough enough, Bea’s also facing her first year of middle school, where she finds out the girls are just a few players short of forming their first all-girls soccer team. Worried she’ll be crowded out of her house and the soccer field, Bea soon realizes that the bigger the team, the stronger the fight—and that for the girls to get what they deserve, they’re going to need a squad behind them.
