Boost

How far will Savvy go to up her game?

“Readers will come away with a better understanding of the controversy surrounding steroid use, and with an appreciation for a talented voice in young adult literature.”—School Library Journal, starred review

All Savvy wants to do is play ball—she’s thirteen years old, six foot two, and has a deadly three-point shot. Though new in town, she has a chance to play for an elite senior basketball team, Fire. There’s only one problem: She gets pushed around the court by the older, stronger players. Callie, Savvy’s older sister, makes the varsity cheerleading squad as a freshman. But she finds out that she’s too heavy to be a flier, her usual position.

Both girls need to boost their games if they want to get off the bench and into the action.

How far will they go to do that?

So Good!

I LOVE this book, expecially because it shows how hard and how fun it can be to an "oversized" teen, which i am , and play b-ball
