Play like a girl - misty wilson

Debut author Misty Wilson chronicles her seventh-grade experience as the only girl on her towns football team in this empowering graphic memoir about teamwork, friendship, crushes, and touchdowns.

Misty never shies away from a challenge, on or off the field.

So when the boys tell her she cant play football, theres only one thing to do: join their team and show them what shes got.

But the training is rougher than she thought--and so are the other guys, who arent thrilled about having a girl on their team.

Middle school isnt so easy, either.

Misty wants to fit in with the popular kids, but they think a girl playing football is weird.

Even her best friend doesnt get it.

Can Misty find a way to score points with her teammates, make new friends, and show everyone--including herself--what it means to play like a girl? I am a huge fan of Misty and her courageous journey of staying true to herself.

Readers will love her! --Terri Libenson, New York Times bestselling author of the Emmie & Friends series This is the book I wish Id had as a kid.

Mistys passion for football and her fight to play in a male-dominated sport while balancing friendship and crushes makes for a winning read! --Dr.
