Sports and romance might not seem like a natural pairing at first glance, but let’s think about this a little more. The importance of good communication? Check. Bodily contact? Check. A cheering section? If you’ve got the right, supportive friends! Here are eight YA novels that score big, on the field and off.
Abbey Brooks, Gila High freshman-to-be, never thought a hellish day of shopping at the mall with her best friend, Kate, could change her life. But when she orders French fries from the flirtatious Hot Dog on a Stick Chick, she gets more than deep-fried potatoes. Abbey tries to ignore the weird, happy feeling in her gut, but that proves to be as impossible as avoiding the very insistent (and--rumor has it--very lesbian) players on Gila High's girls' basketball team. They want freakishly long-legged Abbey to try out, and Abbey doesn't hate the idea. But Kate made Abbey pinky swear to avoid basketball and to keep away from the you-know-who girls on the team.
Sometimes promises can't be kept. And sometimes girls in uniform are impossible to resist.
