The main character, Ria, is a teen girl whose obsession with beauty and fashion leads her mother to insist that she either get a job or join a team sport. At an age when too many girls stop competing athletically, Ria discovers her own capabilities as well as the rewards of challenging herself and connecting with others on a team.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Ria has a passion for fashion, but her mom thinks Ria needs to find other interests. When Ria's mom tells her it's either babysitting or joining a school team, Ria reluctantly goes out for the volleyball team because ... diapers? Ew! Though she's not very good at the game, Ria soon finds that small improvements in her play start to make her feel good. When team captain Sutton takes a special interest in Ria and helps her train off the court, Ria finds that it might not be so bad being a sporty type after all.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>An excellent choice for reluctant readers.</p>-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"<br><br><p>An excellent story about growing up and the sport of volleyball.</p>-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>KAREN SPAFFORD-FITZ is the author of seven books for children and teens, including Lorimer SideStreets novels <i>Push Back</i> and <i>Saving Grad</i>, both named Resource Links' Year's Best, and Lorimer Sports Story Taking the Lead.
