Sammie Goldstein and David Fischer have been best friends since forever, but as the two come of age, they begin to feel the stirrings of something more than childhood friendship. David realizes he has a crush on Sammie, and is nervous about revealing his feelings to her. Enter new kid, Luke Sullivan, who is extremely cool and oh so handsome. He had moved to New Roque, which is a the New York City suburb. David sees him as immediate competition. Sammie, not up for changes wants to simply continue being friends with David and to keep her spot on the baseball team. There is a subplot here concerning Sammie and of her dad’s narrow minded view that softball is for girls and that anything for girls must be inferior. Sammie has played baseball with the boys for years and is quite a good baseball player who competes competently with the boys. One day David accidentally touches Sammie’s chest, and their friendship begins to unravel fast. During this time of confusion for everyone, even Luke, Sammie discovers a newfound camaraderie with the girls she had always dismissed as being too girly. This timely and necessary account is told in the alternating perspectives of the two white Jewish young people. I felt the the plot became a bit slow paced in the middle as the characters stumble painfully through constant failures to communicate. This was frustrating for this reader, as I wanted to help Sammie understand and deal with the complicated issues of middle school and home life. This is a carefully written story for the middle grades that address both the ways that misogyny and the sexual violation culture surface at that age and how it’s hard but necessary to get the help you need. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
