Triple Threat

From New York Times bestselling author Mike Lupica, comes a timely story about a young girl who joins the boys football team.

With Mike's signature fast-paced, heartfelt writing, he expertly explores gender inequality in football with nonstop sports action.

When twelve-year-old Alex makes up her mind to join her middle school's football team, she doesn't expect it to be easy. But she also never anticipated she'd be met with scorn and derision from her exclusively male teammates. Football has always been a source of happiness for Alex. She and her single father never miss a Steelers game on TV, and Alex knows she has a talent for throwing the perfect spiral. But the guys suck the joy right out of the game for Alex--going out of their way to trip her up during tryouts, and teaming up against her just to watch her fail. Suddenly, Alex is the lowest she's ever felt. But if getting QB is worth it to her, she's going to have to fight for it.

✨Top Read of 2022!!!✨ WHAT A WAY TO START THE YEAR!!! FIRST BOOK OF THE YEAR AND IT IS EVERYTHING!!! Well.... that was unexpected! If you read the Cinderella trilogy then you know who the Terror Triplets are..... THIS IS THIER STORY!!! And boy it is a doosey! Basically the 3 guys have to play the part of the same guy in different situations with Landry (the h of the story). Problem is all 3 of them are super possessive and competitive (especially with each other). So we all can imagine the recipe for disaster that creates! Holy hotness! K Webster brought on the heat in a very K Webster fashion. To the point where I was questioning my morals and, to be perfectly honest, felt a little dirty 😏 but in a really good way! This story does end on a cliffhanger, so be prepared to get angry! The worst thing about cliffhangers is that then my brain goes crazy trying to think of all the possibilities! (Which I am doing as I type this out) I didn't like Sully, Sparrow and Scout from the Cinderella trilogy. I am still not the biggest fan of Scout. The other 2 have grown on me and I am DYING to find out what happens next!!! Story 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Spice πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ Swoon 😍😍😍 Angst πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”
