Joseph Bruchac tells the story of a boy who is trying desperately to be on the basketball team, but eventually finds his niche in wrestling. Max Elliot Anderson deals with the crippling problem of having one foot that is normal sized and the other enormous and being the new kid in school. Being overweight is a challenge in "Fat Girls Don't Run" by Lynea Bowdish, but staying invisible is the key. What happens when a dirty BMX punk-girl does guy stuff?  C. S. Perryess has that one covered. If surfing is your sport, ride the waves with Dorian Cirrone, and the boy with the withered leg and a crutch.

Plot twists and surprises are in every fast moving story. This book is uplifting and inspiring...it will have you cheering for more.
