Battling self-doubt and the sting of rejection, Aadhya finds hope in Coach Abhay's quiet encouragement and the unexpected bond she forms with a classmate, Akhya. As summer fades into the school year, Aadhya learns that the true spirit of the game lies not in medals or matches, but in growth, teamwork, and believing in yourself. With powerful lessons woven through every chapter, More Than a Game reminds young readers that even when the world says "no," it only takes one "yes"-your own-to keep playing.
