Thirteen-year-old Maisie joins her school's formerly all-male wrestling team and tries to last through the season, despite opposition from other students, her best friend, and ...
When eighth-grader Maisie Potter decides to try out for the wrestling team, she has no idea of the repercussions that will follow. Legally, the school must allow her to participate, but there are a lot of hard feelings and she quickly becomes the center of a media blitz. Thoroughly modern Maisie is an eminently likable character, and her trials and triumphs make for a highly satisfying tale. Although Newbery Medalist Spinelli ( Maniac Magee ) doesn't break any new ground here, he tackles a meaty subject--traditional gender roles--with his usual humor and finesse. The result, written in a breezy, first-person style, is a rattling good sports story that is clever, witty and tightly written. Ages 10-14. (Sept.)

This was a really good book, it was certainly a page turner. The story is about a girl named Maisie Potter who joins her school's wrestling team. For a girl to be on the wrestling team is a big deal. Everybody is talking about Maisie and there are a hundred rumors going around about her. But Maisie is a very tough and strong person, so even though EVERYBODY is gossiping about her she still goes to wrestling practice. Even when people boo for her at the wrestling meets she still doesn't quit.
By joining the wrestling team Maisie had to go through alot., Her best friend wouldn't hang out with her because of all the rumors. People thought she was crazy, her older brother teased her and more. This story tells people to do what they want to do even if it's out of the norm and people think you're crazy.
Maisie was also very determined at one point she wanted to quit wrestling because of how hard the practices were, but she still kept going to practice even when the rumors were flying and when the practices were hard.
