"Bennett Ryan is one of the region's very best basketball players. In fact, she single--handedly led her team to an undefeated State championship. But when she is forced to switch schools in her senior year, she must first fit in with her old rivals on this new team, then face her old team in the most heated playdowns of her young career."--Publisher.

That was a completely unexpected pleasure! Such engaging characters, such consistent pacing, such wonderful dialogue, I breezed through this in less than a day. And it makes me so happy to see a book like this, about girls playing sports and thier friendships and rivalries (and hooray! without a trace of hackneyed romantic subplot) that is actually good and well-written and not some formulaic piece of tripe designed to fill a hole in the world of books where jock girls live. And I think it was a damn shame that the back-of-book blurb sold this tale short by making it sound like it would be a tedious slog.

A big fat thank you to Fitzhenry & Whiteside for the free copy and the enjoyment I got from reading it.
