Critics Review
“The narrative, broken into four “Quarters,” takes place in the not-too-distant past, with Lizzy narrating engagingly from the present. It’s ludicrous—and a whole lot of fun … an enjoyable sports fantasy” – Kirkus Reviews * October 1, 2018 *
“the banter is fast and sassy, and chapter inserts in which myriad voices breathlessly create her legend are funny and believable. This sports fantasy will give middle-graders something to dream about while waiting for the cell to ping.” – BCCB
“Hand to the kids who can’t stop arguing over Steph versus LeBron” – Booklist
“An entertaining story with a positive message about girls in sports.” – School Library Journal
“This is a heartwarming book that shows readers more than one side of basketball. Readers will fall in love with Lizzy’s sidekick/best friend Toby and his attempts to be her “agent.” A great addition to any middle school sports section!” – School Library Connection
