Definitely Not The Main Character: C-Team Problems

By Chris Seyffert

Fio wants a spot on the B-team. Nola has a plan. This is already a problem.

Cross-country season is over, but seventh grade is still finding new ways to be complicated.

Fio is officially captain of the C-team volleyball squad. It should feel like an honor. Unfortunately, she's busy staring at the one open spot on B-team-and so is Sophia, the teammate she's supposed to be leading.

Luckily, Fio's best friend Nola is ready to help. She has a glitter binder, a sports-management contract, and enough confidence for several professional athletes.

Unluckily, nobody hired her.

Nola also has a cheer stunt group counting on her, and keeping track of Fio's future is starting to interfere with her own. As a big tournament approaches, both girls discover that being a good teammate, and a good best friend, is more complicated than shouting encouragement from the sidelines.

Add questionable sports, journalism, embarrassing headlines, and volleyballs that occasionally land in the basketball hoop, and things are about to get interesting.

C-Team Problems, the second book in Definitely Not the Main Character, brings Fio and Nola back for an illustrated middle-school adventure filled with short chapters, playful banter, and the messy business of wanting to stand out while learning to show up for other people.

Because moving up would be amazing.

Keeping your friendships intact should probably make the list, too.
