There's a Girl in My Hammerlock
Description
When thirteen-year-old Maisie joins her middle school’s formerly all-male wrestling team, she discovers that stepping onto the mat means challenging far more than an opponent. As rival teams refuse to wrestle her and classmates struggle to see her as anything but an outsider, Maisie must endure a season of prejudice, pressure, and unexpected resistance. With humor and empathy, this coming-of-age story explores gender roles, courage, identity, and the determination it takes to claim one’s place.
