Play Like a Girl

By Misty Wilson

Format:Hardcover

Debut author Misty Wilson chronicles her seventh-grade experience as the only girl on her town's 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 can't play football, there's only one thing to do: join their team and show them what she's got. But the training is rougher than she thought?and so are the other guys, who aren't thrilled about having a girl on their team. Middle school isn't 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 doesn't 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 I'd had as a kid. Misty's passion for football and her fight to play in a male-dominated sport while balancing friendship and crushes makes for a winning read!" ?Dr. Jen Welter, first female NFL coach, first female running back in men's pro football, and founder of Grrridiron Girls.
