Synopsis
Navigating high school isn't easy for Melinda Radford...
She's the lone girl on the Ashton High wrestling team, grappling with opponents who refuse to compete against her, a few who want to crush her, and a coach who's less-than-pleased having a female in his practice room. At home, Mel's parents forbid her from seeing her new boyfriend, her grandmother insists she start preparing for her future by taking a dready office internship, and her infuriating older brother - who's the varsity team captain - flirts with her best friend, Jade.
Just when it seems things can't get any more complicated, an off-handed comments puts Mel at odds with her teammates, her brother, and - worst of all - her coach.
But through a strange twist of tragedy and fate, Mel is given an unexpected opportunity to accomplish something no girls in her school's history has ever done - something that just may redeem herself in the eyes of her detractors. But is she strong enough to handle the pressure?
Author Alfred C. Martino has written two highly-acclaimed sports novels - Over The End Line and the Jr. Library Guild Selection and 'Best Books For Young Adults' nominee, Pinned.
Narrator Jen Taylor is a regional actress based in Seattle, WA. She has voiced nearly thirty audio-books, received several AudFile awards and was nominated for an Audie Award in 2008, 2009 and 2012.
