Description
Since Carrie was old enough to hold a tennis racket, her dad has been training her to be the best. Now she's 12 and a star player with split-second reactions and a powerful backhand. But Carrie's tired of having to choose between her friends and tennis.
Quick Summary
Twelve-year-old Carrie has spent her whole life with a racket in her hand, and now she's a tennis phenom with lightning-fast reflexes, but she's exhausted from keeping her two worlds apart and wondering if winning matches means losing her friends. Kids will root for Carrie as she navigates the pressure of being a star athlete while trying to figure out who she really wants to be, not just who her dad wants her to be. If your kid loves the heartfelt struggles in "Wonder" or the sports-themed drama of "Heat," they'll absolutely devour this story about finding yourself off the court. Perfect for kids ages 9-12 in grades 4-6 who enjoy realistic fiction with real heart.
