Lucy Libri GmbH Lucy Bounce Back Paperback

Lucy Parker has never played volleyball before-and the ball does not seem interested in helping her learn.
At her first practice with the Seaview Starfish, Lucy sends a bump flying into a basket of cones. Her underhand serve rolls beneath the net. Then, just when she thinks things cannot become more embarrassing, the ball bounces off her head and crosses the court.
Lucy begins to wonder whether she belongs on the team at all.
With a friendly volleyball festival approaching, she must decide whether to quit or keep trying. Supported by her energetic best friend Maya, quiet and observant Nia, talented but nervous Zoe, and patient Coach Ramirez, Lucy discovers that every player makes mistakes-even the ones who seem confident.
As the Starfish learn to call the ball, help one another, and work together, Lucy begins to understand that confidence does not mean never feeling afraid. It means stepping forward, trying again, and focusing on the next ball.
Filled with warm humor, relatable school experiences, lively volleyball action, and encouraging lessons, Lucy Bumps Back is an inspiring early chapter book for girls ages 6-8.
Young readers will enjoy a realistic beginner sports story about:
* Building confidence
* Learning teamwork
* Handling mistakes

* Trying a new sport
Perfect for young volleyball fans, beginner athletes, reluctant readers, and children who feel nervous about joining a new team or activity.
