  Summary: Ella and Laura can’t believe it when two of the meanest girls from a rival volleyball team switch to their team. They decide to give the girls a chance, but before long it’s clear that Beth and Gretchen have no plans to be good teammates. Since Laura has been benched with a knee injury, Ella feels very alone on the court. How can she manage to get Gretchen and Beth to play with her, not against her? Is there any hope for a championship, or was the season ruined before it began?
