Finally, Greenbrook High has a female player, but all choices are made for a reason. So what reason does Julie have to be playing like a girl?

[COMING OF AGE NOVEL] Skye Hemming is one of many--a girl who finds herself in Wisconsin, with more than just the present on her mind. Between school and friends, she juggles one year after another with the help of her best friend and partner in crime, the half-British boy Fynn whose family originates from England, but has lived in Port Bergen since day one, directly across the street from the Hemming residence. Among the commotion of losing friends and gaining new ones, Skye comes face to face with challenges she never expected to confront, stringing together emotional unbalance, internet fame, and the dreadfully awful drama between cliques at school. In any case, Skye's place in Port may just be another whirlwind of adventure. The following pages record Skye's life from first grade to high school. Please support my book in the 2015 Watty Awards!
