About This Book
The sharp crack of a field hockey stick echoes across the schoolyard, mixing with cheers and gasps. Iggy never imagined himself on the hockey field, especially not with the girls’ team, but when his plans as Student Council President start to unravel, he takes a bold step that shakes up the whole school. Standing on the turf, surrounded by both friends and foes, he feels the weight of every eye — and it’s only just beginning.
Quick Assessment
