Jaz Santos loves football almost as much as she loves her family. So when her parents' fighting eventually leads to her mother moving out of the house, Jaz focuses all her energy on football, putting together a team that she hopes can win the Brighton Girls’ Under-11s Seven-a-Side Football Tournament. Perhaps by winning the tournament, she can not only prove that girls have got game, but also convince her parents to be happy together again. Jaz is a total inspiration. Readers will root for her as she stands up to a system that makes things difficult for girls. They will hurt for her as she struggles to fill the mom-sized hole in her heart. JAZ SANTOS VS THE WORLD is a fantastic story about the importance of dreaming big. Many thanks to the author, NetGalley UK, and Penguin Random House UK for the eARC.
