Meja älskar fotboll och har turen att ha världens bästa tränare. Bruno, grannkillen, har nämligen lovat att vara hennes PT. En dag visar Bruno stolt upp sin nya fotboll. Han har fått den av sin pappa som aldrig annars ger Bruno presenter. Och nu är det en likadan boll som spelarna i Barcelona har! Men när Meja får testa Brunos nya boll, händer det som inte får hända. Brunos Barca-boll går sönder. Bruno försvinner utan ett ord från fotbollsplanen. Meja vill bara dö. Och dagen som redan är den värsta dagen i Mejas liv, kommer snart att bli värre. Mycket värre.

Meja och Barca-bollen tar upp ämnen som utanförskap, skuldkänslor, mod och riktig vänskap.
