Maddy and her friends are a small town group determined to form a girls' junior rugby team while they navigate learning both the rules of the game and the rules set out by the school board. The adults are concerned about the girls' safety and even Maddy worries that she is too small for the rough game. But the persistence of the diverse group of girls wins the day and the book becomes a celebration of the empowerment and self-esteem young girls get from participating in sports.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Full of action and is a relatively short book with vocabulary within reach of most middle years reading levels.</p>-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"<br><br><p>The diversity within the members of the rugby team reflects the makeup of most Canadian schools and gives readers a chance to identify with characters from many backgrounds.</p>-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>MIKE LEVITT has played, coached and refereed high-school rugby.
