(2) YA If any girl can make Pilchuck High School's football team, it's fourteen-year-old wide receiver Tessa Dooley. As the summer unfolds, Tessa defends her love of the game and also becomes the girlfriend of quarterback Caleb. In alternating first-person narratives, Tessa and Caleb voice their feelings about each other and about football. Heldring writes with insight and restraint, letting complicated feelings remain complicated.
