Fancy Nancy: Nancy Clancy, Soccer Mania - Hardcover

by Jane O'Connor (Author), Robin Preiss Glasser (Illustrator)

Nancy Clancy hits the soccer field in New York Times bestselling team Jane O'Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser's sixth Nancy Clancy chapter book.

Normally, Nancy Clancy doesn't like dressing like everyone else. But wearing a soccer team uniform--well, that's different!

Nancy adores being on the Green Goblins. She loves cheering for her teammates, sharing refreshments, and painting her fingernails bright green before every game. If only she wasn't cursed with slow legs! All Nancy wants is to be mediocre--or maybe even a little better than average. Will she reach her goal?

Written with plenty of humor and sports action, this story is perfect for kids like Nancy who aren't the stars of their teams.

What happens when your biggest goal is just to be average?

• Not an All-Star Player: Nancy Clancy doesn't need to be the MVP. She just wants to be mediocre! This is a story for every kid who knows that having fun is more important than winning.
• Teamwork and Friendship: From cheering for her teammates on the Green Goblins to sharing post-game snacks, Nancy learns that the best part of soccer is being on a team with your friends.
• Funny Kids Book: Laugh out loud as Nancy deals with her "slow legs," a hilarious team mascot, and accidentally stopping a ball--with her face!
• Vocabulary Building Fun: Just like in all her adventures, Nancy introduces superb synonyms and fancy words, making this a perfect early chapter book for growing readers.
