Newly shorn of her locks, fifth-grader Sarah plays on a boys' basketball team not realizing the team thinks she's a boy. Meanwhile, her friend Christina deals with a difficult teacher, and the pair help classmate Olivia overcome embarrassment about her artificial leg. Despite the book's belabored emphasis on "To thine own self be true," much of the dialogue is funny and believable in this sequel to Starting School with an Enemy.
