Cinderella in Cleats

Whitney Berringer has always loved football. Her dad taught her the sport and died on the field two years ago. She used to play football with her dad and Jason Victorini and his dad every Sunday. But things changed once Whitney's father died. Jason stopped talking to her until she tried out for Ash Valleys football team and almost replaced him. Coach Harrington couldn't play her because she was a girl in a man's sport said Jason. Well she'd show them. With only a couple members of the team backing her up, Scott Marino and Brendon, see her obvious talent for the sport. When Whitney gets cut from Ash Valley she tries out to join another schools football team, gets in, and becomes starting quarterback. She gets them many wins and a few losses. On the field she meets her boy friend, Colt.They date for awhile but break up when Jason shows up at Sophie's(Whitney's best friend) party. Jason wants to talk to Whitney about how he was sorry for abandoning her when her dad died and for asking her out while still dating Elisabeth to make her mess up in football tryouts. They go for a walk then start dating. To get to Nationals she must play against her new boy friend, Jason. Whitney wins but Jason supports her every step of the way.
          Cinderella in Cleats by Carly Syms is really good and full of surprises. Those of you who like football, drama, and romance will like this book. I highly recommend it.
