When Mom tells Logan that Java is joining his soccer team, the Purple Wombats, heโs not thrilled. Itโs a lot of work teaching his new robot cousin how to act like a humanโand keeping him out of troubleโand Logan needs a break.
Still, being programmed for success means that Javaโs also great at scoring. He might just turn the Wombats into a championship team, beating Sherry and Jerry Silverspoon and their Red Polar Bears . . . if heโd just let the other kids play, too. After being replaced as the Wombatsโ MVP, Loganโs had enough.
But when Java gets wet and goes on the fritz, can the whole teamโeven a short-circuiting Javaโcome together to score the winning goal?
The second in a fantastically funny new chapter book series by internationally bestselling author Nancy Krulik and her daughter, Amanda Burwasser, Soccer Shocker is destined to win tons of fans.
