Bubbly, blond Krista brown is pretty and popular. Her sister, Charlie, is more interested in braving the Malibu waves than the halls of the school that Krista rules. But when Krista and Charlie are both recruited to the school's soccer team, they are forced to face their differences. Can these two sisters become teammates, and friends, in time to make it to the championships? Classic themes of sisterhood and romance make PrettyTough a new take on Francine pascal's Sweet Valley High. The strong sports element and a tie-in to the PrettyTOUGH sportswear and entertainment franchise give this first book by Liz Tigelaar added appeal.

Charlie Brown is unpopular and withdrawn. Krista Brown is anything but. The one thing they have in common: the high school soccer team. How will they make it through the year?? I really enjoyed this book!!! First of all, it is about soccer. Second of all, they're playing it in Malibu, CA. If you love soccer, you have to read this book. It does have a few mistakes in it (not just grammatically), but it's easy to overlook them. Don't make the mistake of passing this book up!!!

The two Brown sisters, Charlie and Krista, used to do everything together, they used to play soccer together, go to birthday parties and even paint their nails together, but then everything changed... It must have been that one day in the cafeteria 3 years ago, Charlie's best friend at the time, Regan, made fun of Charlie and insulted her in front of everybody, and Krista just sat there scared to do the right thing. Ever since Charlie and Krista have gone their separate ways, Charlie quit soccer to do surfing, but Krista still played soccer. One day Charlie was asked to try out for their school soccer team for their school, Beachwood. Charlie took the spot on the team thinking it would tick Krista off, but did it really bring them closer together?

Charlie Brown is not a team player. This is what she tells the new soccer coach when she is recruited to play soccer on her school's losing soccer team. And with a name like hers, you can't help but sympathize.
Charlie would rather surf all day than play on the same team as her perfect sister, Krista. The stereotypical It girl, Krista is blond, athletic, popular, and beautiful. Everything Charlie is not, and for that reason alone, the two hate each other.
And suddenly going out for the soccer team seems like the perfect way to spite Krista. But what neither Charlie nor Krista expected was that Charlie would actually make the team. Or that should she would stay...
PRETTY TOUGH is a novel that redefines all of those stereotypes that run deep in young adult literature. This is a novel with an empowering message: girls can be athletic, brainy, tough, and fashionable. All the while, Tigelaar gives a strong and unflinching look at how seemingly unimportant decisions can make a lasting effect, especially on those you love.
The true depths of the bonds of sisterhood are realized in this heartwarming and heart-pumping novel full of love, acceptance, drama, strength, and forgiveness.

This book should be put on everyones list who has a young female athelete. It would make a wonderful Xmas gift for every sportsminded girl. Finally there is something for girls when prior to this there was only things that were boy oriented. KUDOS to PRETTY TOUGH. GIRLS CAN BE PRETTY AND TOUGH. MS
