Fair Game
As a female Hoosier, living through the Clark effect - this book is so timely! Not just for teens but for adults! The Madison high School girl's basketball team is one of the most winningest athletic teams in the state yet they can hardly get any gym time. The practice gym is flooded and the boy's basketball team can't be bothered to sign up for gym time - they just show up and take it when they want. Amanda is sick of it. She wants to prove once and for all that not only are they the better team, girl's sports matter too. She and Dot and Maddie challenge the boys to a scrimmage - winner gets the gym. But is that the best way to prove a point? And can they even win? Told in alternating perspectives between the three best friend, Fair Game is more than just about sports, it's about gender equality in all formats and learning how and why to fight for it.
