THE KICKS

Mallory is reading The Kicks series by soccer great, Alex Morgan. The trick to getting kids to read is to have them read about things they love. Mallory loves soccer and reading, so this is a perfect combo. This series emphasizes lessons in team work, making friends, sharing, good sportsmanship and work ethic all through the mediums of fiction and soccer. There are currently three books in The Kicks series and Mallory has plowed through all of them, eagerly awaiting the fourth. For those of you not familiar with Alex Morgan she plays on the U.S. Women's National team and earned a gold medal as part of that team during the summer Olympics.
