8-0? How could The Team lose 8-0? Easily! Harvey’s team always loses. Professor Gertie, Harvey’s neighbor, can’t really understand it, but her game–winning inventions for The Team just haven’t helped. (Her Bouncy Boots were too bouncy and her Smoke Machine was too smoky.) Now she thinks she has the perfect solution: Mark 1, the Soccer Machine. He has a metal body covered with Squidgy Skin, a top speed of 45 miles per hour – and he’s programmed to win! But will this latest invention really work? Can The Team actually win?
