Sophomore Cory Towson is the new kid in town, at school, and on the Grandview soccer team. When a split-second accident ends Grandview’s star ‘keeper’s season, Cory also finds himself the new kid in goal, with the team’s hopes for the championship riding on his shoulders. Time after time, he fails to defend his goal. The team’s bully sweeper increases the pressure. Other teammates avoid eye contact in the locker room and at school. As if that weren’t enough, when Cory rides his bike home through the wide high desert streets, the house is always empty, his mom out with her new boyfriend once again. His parents’ divorce has landed him and his mom in Southern California, and he hasn’t heard from his dad since they left Utah many months back. Cory feels alone except for one nerdy friend, Gene, and a personal goalkeeper coach he can trust to watch his back…or can he? Will betrayal and self-doubt take Cory down, along with Grandview’s chances for victory? With riveting action on the soccer pitch, on suburban streets, and even in a secret hideaway, Cory’s in Goal follows a boy’s quest for goalkeeping excellence and stability in his fast-changing world.
