Description
Kaisley Holcomb had the perfect life-until that fateful day. The day she found out she was moving to Enterprise, a nowhere town smack dab in the middle of the Oregon wilderness. How could her parents do this to her? No friends, a new school, no country club for playing tennis.
Follow Kaisley as she navigates her 7th-grade year through totally unknown territory. Kaisley gets herself into a bit of trouble after tackling her newfound nemesis, Maddy Reynolds, right in front of the cops.
Her dad's ultimatum: Be grounded for six weeks, with her annoying younger brother Daxton running around, or get more involved in extracurriculars. Drama, dance, chess club...heck no!
The only option becomes increasingly clear. Basketball.

This was a great book that any middle school student would enjoy. It has interesting characters and lessons that anyone can relate to.

Realistic. Reminds you of how important everything is at 13 years of age. To'have to leave your friends and move to a new school is felt to be a fate worse than death - you just know it will ruin the WHOLE of your life. Everything is in startling black and white.
Really enjoyed it - wouldn't go back to early teens for anyone.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I read an advance review copy of the book. This review is voluntary, honest and my own opinion.
