Story Summary

Danielle gets a call to referee an early morning pee-wee soccer game, but when she gets there she finds no parents and doesn't recognize any of the kids. If that isn't strange enough, Mr. Apfeldt, the coach of the blue team, is the teacher that died over the summer. It's not just the mean kids against the nice kids, it's good against evil ... and the stakes are very high.
