Quiet, sensitive Faith starts middle school already worrying about how she will fit in. To her surprise, Amanda, a popular eighth grader, convinces her to join the school soccer team, the Bloodhounds. Having never played soccer in her life, Faith ends up on the C team, a ragtag group that’s way better at drama than at teamwork. Although they are awful at soccer, Faith and her teammates soon form a bond both on and off the soccer field that challenges their notions of loyalty, identity, friendship, and unity.

The Breakaways from Cathy G. Johnson is a raw, and beautifully honest graphic novel that looks into the lives of a diverse and defiantly independent group of kids learning to make room for themselves in the world.

Fifth-grader Faith is the youngest misfit among misfits, all of them pushed into the lowest ranked soccer team at school. They make a terrible team since no one wants to play, and they don’t like each other much. But the shy Faith (who draws cartoons as a sideline) has good instincts for empathy, and catalyzes change for nearly everyone.
