Riassunto

Anticipating an athletic scholarship and a promising career, eighth-grader KT Sutton blacks out in the middle of a championship game and awakens in a different world where her school days are consumed by athletic drills, where after-school sports are replaced by popular academic competitions and where she is reviled for her talents while her brainy brother is lauded for his math abilities. By the author of The Missing series.

Recensione:

"Haddix illuminates the pressure middle school-aged students often feel to confrom to predetermined roles. Her cleverly constructed tale gives a voice to all students, encouraging them to look beyond the labels of sporty, smart and so on, to define themselves. KT's transition from athlete to advocate is calculated to inspire readers to celebrate their individuality. Haddix's insightful tale is a compelling blend of sports, action and mystery." (Kirkus Reviews)

"This fast-paced novel will fit well on back-to-school displays." (Booklist)
