Hi everyone, I planned this post several weeks ago and in the beginning I was intending on giving you a few short reviews in one post. Since then, I’ve had to think really hard about my choices and decided on giving you just one book instead. To be honest, the majority of sports-themed teen reads I found had very few scenes on the field and more indoors, so I had to abandon that strategy and look further. In the end, the title I decided to review came to me by way of one of my colleagues in the library I work for. (Thanks Kathy 🙂) I hope you all enjoy the title I’m sharing with you this week.
