Dangerous Play

De: Emma Kress

Narrado por: Rachel Jacobs

A fierce team of girls takes back the night in this propulsive, electrifying, and high-stakes YA debut from Emma Kress.

Zoe Alamandar has one goal: Win the State Field Hockey Championships and earn a scholarship that will get her the hell out of Central New York. She and her co-captain, Ava Cervantes, have assembled a fierce team of dedicated girls who will work hard and play by the rules.

But after Zoe is sexually assaulted at a party, she finds a new goal: Make sure no girl feels unsafe again. Zoe and her teammates decide to stop playing by the rules and take justice into their own hands. Soon, their suburban town has a team of superheroes meting out punishments, but one night of vigilantism may cost Zoe her team, the championship, her scholarship, and her future.

Perfect for fans who loved the female friendships of Jennifer Mathieu’s Moxie and the bite of Courtney Summer’s Sadie.

Meh. Field hockey fans, rejoice.

One, you need to like field hockey, because there is a lot of it in this book. Two, there is a lot of talk of sexual assaults. The field hockey team comes up with a way to combat sexual assaults in their school, but, although it seems rational, it is doomed to failure. I was really hoping to like this, but many of the characters are flat and one-dimensional. They are field hockey players and need to move around sexual assaults. That's the book.
