(3) YA Savvy is thirteen, over six feet tall, and obsessed with basketball. Her talent gets her onto an elite team, but when someone plants steroids in her bag, everyone--including Savvy--questions whether that talent is enough. Strong writing and compelling action engage readers, while the layered plot (family troubles, love interests, social struggles) develops Savvy's world beyond the central conflict.
