Book review: "There is a Girl in my Hammerlock" by Jerry Spinelli

How far would you be willing to go to follow your heart? To a teen girl like Maisie Potter, it meant joining the all boy's wrestling team to be with close to her heart throb Eric DeLong. She has to endure insults and ridicule from both her fellow teammates and her friends.

This is a humorous look at gender role reversals and of the strength of the human spirit. This is an excellent book for kids undergoing their own various stages of adolescence and peer pressure.

Age recommendation: 10+
