Flint, Shamini

In Flint's semi-autobiographical middle-grade debut set in 1986 Malaysia, eleven-year-old Maya, a passionate soccer fan, tries to start a girls' team at her school and worries about her parents' fraught relationship. Family, friendship, and school dramas overlap with half-Indian, half-English Maya's experiences as a minority in her small town. Succinct narration conveys immediacy, and Maya's competing impulses of insecurity and determination are well drawn.
