All Savvy wants to do is play ball--she's thirteen years old, six foot two, and has a deadly three-point shot. Though new in town, she has a chance to play for an elite senior basketball team, Fire. There's only one problem: She gets pushed around the court by the older, stronger players. Callie, Savvy's older sister, makes the varsity cheerleading squad as a freshman. But she finds out that she's too heavy to be a flier, her usual position. Both girls need to boost their games if they want to get off the bench and into the action. How far will they go to do that?
