Recommendation

Hook

  • To girls in 7th grade and up
  • to girls who enjoy sports books or basketball
  • to girls who like typical "girl books" but with a twist!

Who is that girl, where did she come from, and how tall is she?!

  • Boost by Kathy Mackel
  • Realistic Fiction
  • Savvy Christopher is a 14-year old girl who is 6'2", gets these questions a lot.
  • Savvy has been in love with basketball since she was a baby. Not only has she loved it, but she's amazing at it too.
  • With her huge size and deadly 3-point shot, she lit up the court every game on her team in
  • New Mexico.
  • But after moving to Rhode Island, she soon finds out she's not the star of the show anymore.
  • Savvy and her new friend Gonzo decide to try out for the 18U Fire, and make it. Savvy doesn't start, though, which is new to her.
  • Throughout the season, she continues to prove herself, and finally earns a spot on the starting lineup.
  • But when some steroids are found in Savvy's bag after a big win, people begin to question if her talent is true.
  • Savvy now has to give everything she has to prove the pills aren't hers. And she's not above accusing someone close to her to prove it.

Was this a believable story?

-Yes, because even though most 14-year olds aren't playing with 18-year olds, I could relate to a lot of her experiences.

What was the theme?

-The theme is determination because Savvy will stop at nothing to be a star on the 18U team and to prove that the pills aren't hers.
