Book of the Week

Open Court by Carol Clippinger

Hall is a big fish in a little pond, a nationally ranked tennis player, but will she be a winner if she attends a tennis academy? Hall does not want to go; she is comfortable with her coach, her family, and her friends. But in the summer of her thirteenth year, things are changing. Her parents are paying attention to her game, she has a new friend, and a boy is interested her. But more important is that her partner Janie has had a breakdown and her coach's voice is gone from her head, leaving her struggling with her game. Throughout the summer, Hall struggles to define what tennis means to her and whether she has what it takes to be a winner.

The book of the week is available for check out at the library circulation desk.
