Rugby Rookies
From the Series Lorimer Sports Stories
Highlighting rugby, the fastest growing sport in America, this book tackles the issue of girls playing full-contact sports. Maddy and her friends are a small town group determined to form a girls’ junior rugby team while they navigate learning both the rules of the game and the rules set out by the school board. The adults are concerned about the girls’ safety and even Maddy worries that she is too small for the rough game. But the persistence of the diverse group of girls wins the day and the book becomes a celebration of the empowerment and self-esteem young girls get from participating in sports.
