Olivia is
excited to play soccer, but mostly so she can wear a red jersey. Turns out her
team wears mostly green jerseys, unless you’re the goalie. So Olivia undermines
the team until the assigned goalie gives up her post. Once Olivia gets that red
jersey she is finally happy and plays a great game.
This story
should be about the sweet goalie that gives up her post so that Olivia can be
happy, not Olivia. To be honest this book made really dislike Olivia, reminding
me of an over-privileged spoiled child. If Olivia was my pig child, we would
have spent the holidays volunteering at the local shelter.
